Of course the rule make sense if you have a single coder doing the software, but for a professional team of developers (perhaps even supported by a proper KI …) it should be possible to create something that increases the skill(s) of all single members of the team. In addition, a neural net is a "self-learning" piece of soft- and/or hardware. As I understood "accumulated skill" in a character, this is proportional to time (and effort) spent on study and training. As a "silicon based mind" could learn faster and memorise better than a biological one (and is easier to reproduce …) I would say that such a (robot) program could outrun the skill level of its original creator by multitudes. If this is still a good thing for game balance is a different kettle of fish. -- Thomas Thrien Allemagne Geo 51° 28' 12" N 7° 32' 17" E Es heißt, der Klügere gibt nach.
