No. "Weapon skill" seems to increase the percentage skill in the weapon
currently being used. I can't think of any way to increase general combat
skill for fighters, save thru experience (and I haven't been doing enough
fighting for that).

QUERY:

I'm currently going down into level 5 of a dungeon. I've got 5 fighters
with great axes or great swords, AR 10 or so, a couple of clerics, a
couple of mages (but very few combat spells set for either) and a thief.

Skill ratings with weapons for fighters range are 100, 72, 56, 42, 34.

Does anyone have any opinion as to whether level 5 would be too difficult ?
