Damage points -- Sta, survived fights with some damage (but

All in all, the lower the current value the more likely it is
the attribute will go up.  To raise weapon skill, don't use
spells, go all out attacking and parrying.

My guess is that your cunning is rather low.

Training amulets don't work at the haunted manor.  You really
should have avoid traps and some way to be cured to go there.
I don't recommend it for lower power level characters.

Res Fund:

First 100gc =     25% chance
	Each STA point =  +3%
	Each added 10gc=  +1%
	Devotion level =  +2 or +3%

So for an elf with 11 STA, 100gc = 61%
		   11 STA, 460gc = 97%

Remember, max value is 97% chance

Gold yes, items no for different cities.
