====== Combat: Advancement ======  

                                                                              
  Syntax:  Varies.                                                            
                                                                              
  Skills                                                                      
       The primary way to advance skills is by heading to one of the various  
  trainers on the MUD.  Groups of trainers exist on Caladan, Ix and Wallach.  
  You can also ask a member of House Atreides to train you in most skills,    
  at a modified cost.  Finally, all combat skills can be raised by simply     
  using them in battle.                                                       
                                                                              
       Weapon skills (except "Offhand Fight") and defense skills can be       
  raised to 2000, while the remaining skills can be raised to 100.            
                                                                              
  Levels and Stats                                                            
       You raise your level or your stats by heading to your guildhall and    
  typing 'advance <stat name>' (for stats) or 'advance' (for levels).         
  You can lower your stats using 'reduce', and you can reduce your level by   
  dying.                                                                      
                                                                              
  Guild Skills                                                                
       These are almost always trained by finding the relevant mob or room    
  in your guildhall and using the relevant advancement command.
