Just started a new adventurer when I noticed something odd: She doesn't seem to be getting any experience in her swordsdwarf skill from murdering zombies.

I have been cutting down dozens of them without the skill making any visible progress. Other skills like shield user and fighter on the other hand have all advanced a level or two already.

I'm not exactly sure what to do to fix this. She's freshly created, not undead or anything. Just a regular dwarf with a bronze shortsword.

There was someone trying to get to legendary in every skill a while ago and for some reason his character was only able to gain skill while focused. I've never experienced this myself, but it might be worth trying to see if that's the problem.

I know I read somewhere that you gain little xp from certain monsters, zombies among them, and a lot of xp from certain others, like bronze colossi.

Dunno if it helps.

I have noticed that it's nearly (or entirely) impossible to raise your skills with zombies.  I've had adventurers attack necromancer towers guarded by several zombies, I've killed hoards of zombie ravens and jaguars, but the skills are always stagnant.  I don't know why this is the case, but it's best to focus on living creatures

Maybe that whole thing about fighting undead being super hard on your sanity has something to do with it?
Try talking with an npc after fighting a zombie, expressing your emotions. See what it is that your adventurer felt. Maybe if you're too busy keeping it together you cant pay enough attention to learn?

Some adventurers, and units in general find it harder to max out in certain skills based on their natural tendency to better at some things.

Hope this helps.
