Shattered Kingdoms

Something I've noticed.. skills that I have that are checked every (or nearly every) tick rarely seem to get increases vs those that I tigger via a command... in some cases... Are some skills harder to increase then others? I'd think skills like Fast Healing and Endurance would cap out pretty darn quick vs things like say butcher...

I've never had problems with them improving at a rapid rate, try int mods?

From my experiance skills that are automatic take much longer to increase than skills you can type. Minus weapon skills, they increase pretty fast. Fast healing, Endurance, meditation and stuff like that only check every tick and if you are below 100% in that catagory.

Whereas something like kick which you can use several times a fight will get checked several times a tick and increase incredibly faster than an automatic skill.

If you want endurance, fast healing or any auto skill to increase as fast as possible than always make sure that your hp, me, pe or whatever is not at max. Any other ways you could do it would probably be considered cheating for some reason or another, but hopefully you can find them out for yourself just think about it.

My yenkite hellion mastered cause critical and fast healing by casting it to himself while idling in snowy wastelands. Perfectly IC done.

Generally though, some automatic skills are really hard to master, like parry if you can't eparry or things like that. Patience is what is needed, and some decent INT.

Can you Master every skill you can learn? or do some cap lower?

You can master any skill or spell.

Yes, every skill. It takes too much effort to be worthy of some not so useful skills.

Has final strike ever been mastered?

Yup, back in the day when you could get resurrected by a PC instead of having to have a Imm aid you. Which was before the Final strike flag.

It's probably still possible, using a set of heavy armor and hoping that you don't hit that very very low chance that you could get the spell off still.
