^That's exactly what memories does; it's not tremendously useful, but it's not a flat-out dump stat like social awareness or empathy. You're right about willpower too.

Spatial Sense affects pretty much everything involves with movement, including dodging and ambushing.

Kinesthetic Sense affects attacking in general, and aimed attacks in particular.

Focus effects ranged attacks and ambushing.

Analytical Ability and Intuition are technically used as well, but just for knapping (there isn't anything easier to train up anyway) and observer (which you never need because enemies never hide).

No one has mentioned shields as weapons! Up against a well armored opponent? Is your only weapon a sword? Forgot your pick at home? Hit him in the head will your steel shield (not all that hard to find) it goes right through his helm!

Seriously all this talk about blunt weapons vs swords: just train your up misc object user on some disemboweled enemies while waiting for them to bleed out then use your shield on anything with too much armor.

Does shield-bashing using Misc. Object User? It doesn't seem to raise it.

Shields fall in the Misc. skillset. The experience aint' that large so maybe you just don't notice or you using it on someone prone/unconscious.

Shields use shield user to block and misc object user to bash (Yeah it is weird)

EDIT:oops someone already answered that...
