The horror! Say it ain't so!

Seriously though, questions related to levelling up is written in the manual, and there is also an in-game tutorial for those who want to know how to play the game.

I dont. Well, I do the background sections but forget the mechanics. In any case weapon proficiencies per level are NOT covered in the manual, neither are tables for THACO.

for proficincies - and feel free to correct me :

warriors - one every three levels
clerics - one every four levels
theives - one every six levels
mages - one every nine levels

kits get profs based on their parent class. multi classes get the best of their classes.

various classes get special abilites at certain level - monks get quivering palm at level 15, paladins get various innate cleric spells, and so on. magic-users get spells based on the table at the back.

You dont really need to know this stuff though, the game handles all the numbers and *supposedly* never makes a mistake.

I double-checked the SoA manual and was horrified to find out that true enough, it did not cover the issue of weapon proficiency distribution among the different classes.

Fighter/Paladin/Ranger/Barbarian: 1 proficiency per 3 levels.
Thief/Cleric/Monk/Bard: ~~ per 4 levels.
Mage/Sorcerer: ~~ per 6 levels.

I now eat my words, all three posts of them and say sorry to FelixJaeger. [img]redface.gif[/img]

It's generally accepted that answering questions accurately and politely is the best alternative, regardless of how "inane" you may think them to be. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Personally, I found the manual to be unweildy and rather disorganized, far more oriented towards "entertaining" rather than "instructing."
