Hi,

I'm currently playing some adventure-mode and looked for a way to get a bit of training without the stupid animal-bashing and without overpowering my char.
I took the make-legendary script and changed it to accept a second argument to set a specific skilllevel.
Maybe you find it useful, too...

local help = [====[

setskill
==============
Sets the selected dwarf to a certain level in one skill, a group of skills, or all
skills.  View groups with "setskill classes", or all skills with
"setskill list".  Use "setskill MINING 10" when you need something
dug up, or "setskill all 20" when all skills should be at maximum.

You ever try modtools/skill-change?

[cythev]

obviously not. but thanks...

[Edit:] okay, after looking up the skript... that's a bit over the top since you even have to specify the exact unit id by parameter and such, so i'm still happy with my script. Furthermore skill-change is anything but self-explaining since the help-output is pretty minimal.

[Putnam]

I guess I might be responsible for that, so that's fair.

...Or am I? I can't remember if it was me or expwnent who made the docs lol
