Title: The greatest rock thrower in the world!

Yeah, bit of an exploit not sure Toady is aware of. You get 30xp in throwing anytime you throw stuff at anyone. Or anything. Even the ground. This allows you to become tremendously good with throwing, and also increases your agility, strength, etc.

Pretty sure this is not intended.

It's not and he knows all about it.  I think FourthTriad made an adventurer into a legendary thrower once.  Stats (strong/agile/tough) as well as earing xp for different actions are going to be adjusted pretty heavily.  For now, the main concern is bugs, of course.

yeah, another one is ambucher skill, when sneaking you get 1 xp per step I think, but right now that skill is next to useless in any kind of fighting sense (so far as I have seen) but even with no skill at this sneaking makes it pretty much impossible for anyone to see you unless you are right by them.

You also get about 10 wrestling XP for Pinching an unconcious thing, letting you get that up pretty easily, especially if you can break all its limbs first.
