It also shows you how many total skill points you have and how many practice sessions you have available.</P> <P>When a skill is specified it will try and increase your score in the skill. The amount you gain is determined by many factors, including your intelligence and your current skill level. To practice a skill you must have one practice session and you must be in the presence of an adept mob. An adept mob is one who is set up to let you practice your skills.</P> <P>If you specify a count, it will use that many practice sessions on the skill, gaining a corresponding increase in your score with the skill. This can be beneficial, as your initial score is used to determine the difficulty and sometimes using 2 or 4 practice sessions will squeeze an extra point out of the rounding process.</P> <P>Typically a practice session will give you 7-9 points in a skill, although some skills are easier to learn than others.</P> </BODY> </HTML>
