Experience:
the Experience command lists your current experience in each of your skills.
syntax:
experience

This lists your current rank, your percent towards next rank and the speed you are learning each skill.
The experience system can be best explained with the bucket anology. everytime you do an action which earns you experience it gets put into the bucket. the bucket has holes at various levels which allow the experience to drain out and become actual skill. as experience is put into the bucket it fills up more allowing to drain out of more holes speeding up your learning. The exception is when the bucket gets completely filled, or "locked" when this happens the rate of experience draining out drops drasticly, and you get less for doing an action. When you reach locked you must stop using that skill for a time to let the experience sink in. This may seems complicated at first but once you get used to it, it will still seem complicated.
