Cool. Once the player has a new skill, does changing its value propagate
changes throughout its enablers and the rest of the system, sortta like
skill trees and -webs do? Or do you just use it for deciding what new
skills a character may gain?
Also, I'm curious as to how a character grows better in his skills on your
mud. You speak of practices -- is that the only way? Or do you also get
better by *using* the skill? If so, then I believe it would be at least
theoretically possible for a player to gain all skills. That may not be a
problem. A lot of time would probably have to be invested. Do you have the
concept of skill detoriation or anything alike?

-nodnod- If you can't solve it with violence, simply use more violence.

I like it a lot. Been looking for such a tool for a long time, so I
wouldn't say no to information/links/etc about it. :)
