[CF List] New New Experience Scheme...

[Andreas Vogl]

Please don't wonder about this email.
I've sent it two weeks ago. A copy of the original mail
already got delivered to this list long time ago.

Somehow the mailserver decided to deliver this ancient
original email today - it's not my fault, please ignore it.

      I think this is a great idea.

      If the overall skill exp was seperated from the "specialized"

      We could create a lot more specialized skill cathegories.

      Currently we can't do that because every new cathegory

      would make it significantly easier to gain overall levels.

      It would be a LOT better to have seperate cathegories

      for things like thievery, alchemy, literacy, trap-skills etc.

      With overall exp seperated, some "specialized" cathegories

      could give less overall exp, others even none. For example:

      Melee combat could give melee exp and overall exp at equal

      ratio 1:1. Also magic and wisdom.

      A "rogue" skill cathegory (thievery, hiding, lockpicking)
     
     >
     
      could give only half overall exp, ratio 1:2.

      Literacy and alchemy for example might not give any overall

      exp, only the specialized exp.

      This would mean skills which don't give overall exp are
     
     >
     
      less rewarding to train - but they still have their own use.

      When literacy skill has it's very own cathegory, that means

      players actually have to *read* something to gain levels there.

      This again would imply that literacy level 50 really

      means *something*. So there could also be maps which

      would motivate players to train literacy... and so on.

      Besides, with more skill cathegories there's more work to do
     
     >
     
      in general, because there are more different skill-cathegories

      to train. It also allows more exciting character development.
