Most recent experimental curses build for Linux.

I was fighting with a bayonet as my main weapon in the beginning, and strangely enough, “bashing weapons” was the first weapon skill that leveled up. At that point “piercing weapons” (which a bayonet should probably use), was only at 57% or so.  
Also, I used only the bayonet for fighting, so there’s no way I mixed it up.

I believe I noticed that bug before, when fighting with a forged sword, IIRC.

Kevin fixed this a week or two ago, IIRC. Probably something with all the reworks unfixed it. Sorry.

I’ve found it useful in some cases to disable learning certain abilities, but if it’s interplaying with bugs I don’t know if it’d make the weapon worse (by training the wrong skill)
