[quote=“Random_dragon, post:120, topic:9357”]Hmm. I suppose one could get rust in your “what I had for breakfast” skill overnight, but yeah. I haven’t bothered with skill rust much at all. Partly because I forget which versions can drain skill experience but not LEVELS.
And back on topic, I’m taking more and more of a liking to reach weapons.[/quote]
The problem is really that skill rust shouldn’t drain your skill at all - it should be a penalty that goes away fairly quickly as you do things with that skill. That is, I don’t forgot how to do something, I’m just “rusty” - I don’t have to relearn it, I just do it once or twice and go “oh yeah, I remember this”.
Haven’t done it in a few years? Yeah, ok, maybe I actually forgot some stuff… maybe. Or maybe, I just need to perform the activity a few more times to get back at it. A master electrician doesn’t have to spend 5 years apprenticing again because he hasn’t done it in years, he spends a couple of days, maybe a week, brushing up.
