Let a weapon skill grow from use, but not from beating up weak targets

Use-based progress is loved in role-playing games: swing a sword and get better with a sword. Left alone, it is farmed on harmless targets, and it rises at the same speed at skill 5 as at skill 95. This entry shows what counts as a worthy challenge and how the chance falls with skill.

Why this works

People should grow by doing things that teach them something. Tying the gain to how hard the target was stops idle farming, and slowing it near the top makes mastery feel earned and keeps it rare.

When not to use it

Skip it when the player should be able to choose a build freely, or in a short game where nobody has time to grind. There, hand out skill points at milestones so no one is forced to repeat one move.
