		323
		324	=head1 About experience and skills
		325
		326	=head2 Associated and miscellaneous skills
		327
		328	In Crossfire two types of skills exist; The first kind, "associated"
		329	skills, are those skills which are associated with a category of
		330	experience. The other kind of skill, "miscellaneous" skills, are not
		331	related to any experience category.
		332
		333	The main difference between these two kinds of skills is in the result
		334	of their use. When associated skills are used successfully experience
		335	is accrued in the experience category associated with that skill. In
		336	contrast, the use of miscellaneous skills never gains the player any
		337	experience regardless of the success in using it.
		338
		339	Both miscellaneous and associated skills can fail. This means that
		340	the attempt to use the skill was unsuccessful. Both miscellaneous
		341	and associated skills can have certain primary stats associated with
		342	them. These associated stats can help to determine if the use of a skill
		343	is successful and to what degree it is successful.
		344
		345	All gained experience is modified by the associated stats for that skill
		346	(table skill statistics) and then the appropriate experience category
		347	automatically updated as needed.
		348
		349	=head2 Restrictions on skills use and gaining experience
		350
		351	Neither a character's stats nor the character class restricts the player
		352	from gaining experience in any of the experience categories. Also, there
		353	are no inherent restrictions on character skill use-any player may use any
		354	acquired skill.

		390	=head2 Algorithm for Experience Gain under the skills system
		391
		392	Here we take the view that a player must "overcome an opponent" in
		393	order to gain experience. Examples include foes killed in combat,
		394	finding/disarming a trap, stealing from some being, identifying an object,
		395	etc.
		396
		397	Gained experience is based primarily on the difference in levels between
		398	"opponents," experience point value of a "vanquished foe," the values of
		399	the associated stats of the skill being used and two factors that are set
		400	internally. (Note: If you want to know more about this, check out the
		401	skills_developers.doc.)
		402
		403	Below the algorithm for experience gain is given where player "pl" has
		404	"vanquished" opponent "op" using skill "sk:"
		405
		406	EXP GAIN = (EXP(op) + EXP(sk)) * lvl_mult * stat_mult
		407
		408	where C<EXP(sk)> is a constant award based on the skill used, C<EXP(op)> is the
		409	base experience award for "op" which depends on what op is (see below),
		410	stat_mult is taken from table experience modification, and lvl_mult is:
		411
		412	For C<< level(pl)> < level(op) >>:
		413
		414	lvl_mult = FACTOR(sk) * (level(op) - level(pl))
		415
		416	For C<< level(pl) = level(op) >>:
		417
		418	lvl_mult = FACTOR(sk)
		419
		420	For C<< level(pl) > level(op) >>:
		421
		422	lvl_mult = (level(op)/level(pl));
		423
		424	where C<level(op)> is the level of "op," level (pl) is the level of the
		425	player, and C<FACTOR(sk)> is an internal factor based on the skill used by
		426	"pl."
		427
		428	There are three different cases for how EXP (op) can be computed:
		429
		430	=over 4
		431
		432	=item op is a living creature: EXP(op) is just the base experience award
		433	given in the spoiler.
		434
		435	=item op is a trap: EXP(op) = 1/(fraction of the time which the trap is
		436	visible). Thus, traps which are highly visible get lower values.
		437
		438	=item op is not a trap but is non-living: EXP(op) = internal experience
		439	award of the item. Also, the lvl_mult is multiplied by any magic
		440	enchantment on the item.
		441
		442	=back
		443
		444	=head1 How skills are used
		445
		446	=over 4
		447
		448	=item B<< skills >> This command lists all the player's current known
		449	skills, their level of use and the associated experience category of each
		450	skill.
		451
		452	=item B<< ready_skill I<skill> >> This command changes the player's current
		453	readied skill to <skill>.
		454
		455	=item B<< use_skill I<skill> I<string> >> This command changes the player's
		456	current readied skill and then executes it in the facing direction of the
		457	player. Similar in action to the invoke command.
		458
		459	=back
		460
		461	Three player commands are related to skills use: B<ready_skill>,
		462	B<use_skill>, and B<skills>. Generally, a player will use a skill by first
		463	readying the right one, with the ready_skill command and then making a
		464	ranged "attack" to activate the skill; using most skills is just like
		465	firing a wand or a bow. In a few cases however, a skill is be used just
		466	by having it readied. For example, the mountaineer skill allows favorable
		467	movement though hilly terrain while it is readied.
		468
		469	To change to a new skill, a player can use either the B<use_skill> or
		470	B<ready_skill> commands, but note that the use of several common items can
		471	automatically change the player's current skill too. Examples of this
		472	include readying a bow (which will cause the code to make the player's
		473	current skill missile_weapons) or readying a melee weapon (current skill
		474	auto-matically becomes melee weapons). Also, some player actions can cause
		475	a change in the current skill. Running into a monster while you have a
		476	readied weapon in your inventory causes the code to automatically make our
		477	current skill melee weapons. As another example of this-casting a spell
		478	will cause the code to switch the current skill to wizardry or praying (as
		479	appropriate to the spell type).
		480
		481	It is not possible to use more than one skill at a time.
		482
		483	=head2 Acquiring skills
		484
		485	Skills may be gained in two ways. In the first, new skills may
		486	learned. This is done by reading a B<skill scroll> and the process is very
		487	similar to learning a spell. Just as in attempts to learn incantations,
		488	success in learning skills is dependent on a random test based on the
		489	learner's INT. Using your INT stat, look in the learn% column in table
		490	primary stat effects to find your % chance of learning a skill. Once you
		491	hit 100%, you will always be successfull in learning new skills.
		492
		493	The acquisition of a skill tool will also allow the player to use a new
		494	skill. An example of a skill tool is "lockpicks" lockpicks (which allow
		495	the player to pick door locks). The player merely applies the skill tool
		496	in order to gain use of the new skill. If the tool is unapplied, the
		497	player loses the use of the skill associated with the tool.
		498
		499	After a new skill is gained (either learned or if player has an applied
		500	skill tool) it will appear on the player's skill roster (use the 'skills
		501	command to view its status). If the new skill is an associated skill,
		502	then it will automatically be gained at the player's current level in the
		503	appropriate experience category.
		504
		505	For example, Stilco the Wraith, who is 5th level in agility, buys a set of
		506	lockpicks and applies them. He may now use the skill lockpicking at 5th
		507	level of ability since that is an agility associated skill.
