I often think of things based on the roleplay of a current character, or one I'm thinking about creating. That's the case here.

I think a person should be able to get better at a weapon just by having it used against them. For example, if you're fighting a mob/pc that is using an axe against you, assuming you can learn to use axes, you should have a small chance of getting better at using that weapon, a smaller chance than actually using the weapon, but a chance nonetheless.

As somebody who has studied martial arts quite a bit, I find that defending against certain attacks allows me to learn when to use and when not to use those attacks myself.

Part of learning to use a weapon, or in my case a certain technique, is learning to defend against it.

It's a good idea, but the chance would have to be very low indeed. n/t Tassnor(VIP) 19:46:17 11/13/99 (0)
