<DIV>With any "permanent" reduction in stats, what happens to the skills if a
maximum drops below current level? </DIV>
<DIV>My Answer = The level(s) would be temporarily lost, inaccessible until
the attribute(s) is(are) regained.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now another question: When resurrected do you
'reset' the limits on training attributes? Are the limits ignored?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I gotta admit to being nasty about that - in my
games the limits still apply. One might have to go and get lots of experience to
regain attributes after maxing the training.</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE cite="" type="cite">Fully agree on both. The loss of most stats
(not Con) is temporary in that character points can eventually restore them.
An odd question here, though. With any "permanent" reduction in stats, what
happens to the skills if a maximum drops below current level? Would the
level(s) be lost, inaccessible, or fully functional? I play that they are
lost (anything that reduces stats permanently is very hard on the
individual, and they may need to relearn some things).<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I
play they are lost. But then you have to worry about what other things
are affected like OCV/Bonuses/HPV....all may go down depending...it represents
a loss in physical frame and strength....course a typical resurrection could
take half a year to build back up if anynormal training is required....not a
good thing..<BR><BR>
