Thanks, Stratos and Sever,

My character finally ran last night, thanks to Stratos. Does this increase athletics?

Is there something I should know about how and when to level? I understand that I could get like 4 advances in Axe and 1 in blocking to level; or I could get 1 in each of 5 different things. Can I get one advance in each of, say, 10 different things and then rest to level? Would that give me 2 levels or 1? Is there any advantage to doing it one way or the other?

I stole a book on potion mixing in Pelnior (sp?) on the way to Balnora. So if I drag that book onto my character I might be able to mix potions? I have collected a large array of herbs and etc.; but haven't a clue how to use them. How does one mix up potions? Do I need that mortar and pestal I saw for sale somewhere?

If you steal from an individual's house, and they do NOT catch you, does it affect their attitude towards you if you return later? In other words, is there ANY disadvantage (e.g., bad attitudes, bad karma, etc.) for stealing, if you do NOT get caught?

I took a right, just through the gate, after walking to Balnora; and entered a tavern/inn of sorts on the left. (There were several trainers there.) The proprietor took 10 gold from me for a bed; but I was not able to sleep in any of the rooms with beds. What am I doing wrong?

I got my first skill increase after training with a Thief in Balnora, so now I know what that pop-up is that you talked about; but I still haven't advanced in Axe (or anything else)! I need big time help in Speechcraft.

Yes, I understand you can recover from poor early choices; but I don't want to have to spend an inordinate amount of time doing so. I know I am going to re-roll a character; but I want to play this one long enough to figure out what NOT to do. (And I hope to shorten THAT amount of time by picking YOUR brains.
