Questions on Raising Expertise and Charisma

[Quatlu]

As a newcomer to Boldhome, Quatlu Carasilson seeks answers to clarify two questions. First, how does one raise their Expertise? He has noted ways to increase strength, Power and weapons skills, but so far not Expertise. Second, do CPs continue to amass with each turn until they reach the threshold
needed for an increase in Charisma? At that point, is the increase in Charisma automatic?

how does one raise their Expertise?

By practising a weapon. If you're in a regiment you can practice the regimental weapon for free. Otherwise it costs Luanrs = current Expertise per week. Each week increases the weapon expertise by 0.25.

do CPs continue to amass with each turn until they reach the threshold needed for an increase in Charisma?

No. CPs are reset to zero at the start of each turn.

Thank you sir! I appreciate the information and now may plan my actions with certainty.

[Quatlu]

I know that a character may increase his or her Expertise in a specific weapon, but how do we go about raising our overall Expertise? Is this possible?

raising our overall Expertise? Is this possible?

No, that's not possible.

Argh! Okay, I'll just try and keep Quatlu from getting into any duels to avoid becoming a pin cushion!

Thank you sir!

I'll just try and keep Quatlu from getting into any duels...

I mean, that's always a good plan.

Thank you sir!

He can always come and join us over at the Chalana Arroy cult!

Hail Scholar Broar,

While I thank you for your kind offer, such a move would be somewhat counter-productive for my thus far successful military career. However, I honor Chalana Arroy as a fellow Light Bringer and her devout worshippers who offer healing and succor to the wounded. The temple of Lhankor Mhy and its Military Academy has also been of great use to me in helping increase my studies on warfare. Praise the goddess of Healing and the god of Knowledge! Perhaps I'll see you at the Scribbled Scroll sometime soon.

You never use your "general" expertise, it's just a starting value. You always use your weapon expertise.
