Ok heres what I think. Ok lets say this:
1. Marco, who wants to be the worlds most powerful wizard, so you practice. Then you just feel like smithing for no reason, you just do it for the heck of it, \"WOW, I\'m pretty good!\"
So Marco wants to be a wizard, but he is good at smithing, thats cool, right? What I keep hearing is that it is \"unfair\". So he is good at smithing and average at magic, SO WHAT? QUIT WHINING! IT DOESNT MATTER, JUST PRACTICE MORE WITH MAGIC (its in caps so you will read this part clearly). So what if you practice less with smithing, its only about 10 percent anyway WHO CARES.
2. Bob the powerful fighter wants to wield an axe, wow, he sucks! \"I cant be a fighter if I suck with an axe, the weapon I want to use!\" He practices it anyway, then one day, its goes away. \"Wow! I finally got pretty good with an axe! Heck, I can even beat that high level monster!\"
YAY!!! Bob is not that good with an axe, but if he keeps practicing, the penalty goes away!!! He knows how to use it right now! He can even beat anything with the axe!
Have you ever watched a movie where someone faces their fears? Well this is just like it! LEARN HOW TO USE YOUR MISTAKES TO MAKE YOURSELF BETTER!!!!! (important) That is how *I* would do it, it doesn\'t mean *you* have to do it though. I think my idea is pretty good.
3. John hates Paul because Paul seems to learn herbology faster. John is ticked off and hates this system. His goal in this game was to be the best in herbology and he does all this work and Paul just cuts through it like its paper. One day from working so hard, John just suddenly got so good at it, he seems to get better MUCH faster. Thus, he creates his own bonus.
NOTE: Making your own bonus has a lower limit (only about 10-12 percent maybe and takes a long time and lots of hard work)
Yeah! John rocks! From doing it so much and working so hard, he got better than Paul! Paul may have an 8 percent bonus in herbology, but John just created himself about 10 percent!!! WOW! SO THERE IS HOPE FOR JOHN! Paul can also get better than John if he slacks off! But once you get higher in bonus, it will get harder to get a higher increase!
That is how I would do this, It seems flawless to me, but, thats me. Tell me what you think, thanks! (no flaming please)
