Hello,

on our Shard there is sometimes a weird behaviour with Skills. Sometimes a Skill drops when another rises.
Yes, that is not how it is intented, because wie have set the Skillsum to 10000.0 for every Player.

SKILLSUM=10000.0

I know, that isn't the wisest thing, but this has been the way for over 10 Years.

Now sometimes, a skill drops when another rises, even if both are set to be able to rise or one of it is locked.

Whe have checked every single File mingling with Skills, but there is not a single entry which locks/unlocks a Skilllock, or which drops a Skill.

The Weirder Part is, that it is not always happening, and the Skillbehaviour can vary from Player to player :

Example :
Player 1
Animal Lore Rises (Standard-Skillgainfunction, no custom)
Tactics (which is at 100.0 and locked) drops

Player 2 :
Same situation, but tactics doesn't drop. But instead he might have the Problem with SMS and Resisting Spells, which never happens to Player 1.

This Effect can also occur only once for a player in Months or years, or never at all. No Scripts changed before or after, no Skilllock set/unset by the Player or Script.

Has anyone ever experienced such a behaviour? Might be the high SKILLSUM the Problem ?

What about items increasing skills, did you check everything? This happens when the skillsum/statsum isn't high enough and if one skill is about to rise, it must make space for it.

We have no Items that raise any Skill.

The Point that bothers me is, that it is absolutely random.

Example :
Two Players fight in the Dungeon
Both players have GM-Tactics (locked) and SMS under 100.0 but set to rise.

Now both players gain a point in SMS, but only one looses a point in Tactics (even though it is locked)
