| It short weapons, armor and shield skills need only be raised when you find a new item that requires a higher skill level to remove penalties (strength may need to be raised too). With weapon skills raising your skill to 5 gives you an advanced move with increased damage. Dual weapons skills only need 1 skill point and that’s all... ever. Magic weapons needs to be raised to the level stated on the weapon or they don't fully work. Whether magic weapons do higher damage at higher levels is questionable. D |
