Hold key down for building skills

If you don't mind the expense, buy a KVM switch. Press the key you want to stay down, say for recasting a spell, then toggle the KVM switch.

I just use a pencil or small screwdriver jammed between the keys...why bother buying anything? The stuff on your desk works just as well.

Hmm

Thanks for the tip N.

You can also use scripting programs like AutoIt to continually press the key.

I don't level anything in this manner though, so I have no need for these things. :wink:

Touching yourself repeatedly like that, can do that, Vook. Didn't your mom teach you anything?

If you pick rarely-used, but quickly-trained skills for majors, (like mysticism), you won't have to do much forced leveling. By recording your stats at each level, thereafter watching the big red thermometer at the bottom of your stat screen, you won't have to do much at leveling time to "top off" the under-trained skills. Just play as normal, basically, and dress in accordance with your goals: If you are training speed, then wear light armor for that level, endurance, wear heavy armor...just set a goal then everything else sort of falls in place.
