Learning a skill will take a minimum of 3 turns to learn.
I'm sorry, but that does not sound like a good idea. I know you update your games pretty fast, Cave, but nobody wants to spend so much as a single turn doing basically nothing. It's like playing an RtD where spells have multiple-turn casting times...
A fictional conversation to illustrate my point:
Quote:
> Cast Meteor Storm Turn 1: You begin casting Meteor Storm. "All right, just a couple more turns." Turn 2: You continue casting Meteor Storm. "Okay, makin' progress. Boy, this sure takes ages, but it'll totally be worth it!" Turn 3: You finish casting meteor storm! Flaming balls of fiery blazing death rain around everywhere, turning your enemies into burning husks. The two enemies that are left, that is. Your warrior friends already killed the rest of them. "... That was so not worth it."
Unless learning skills can happen while you're doing other, more interesting things, like bashing peoples' heads in, it's going to be a lot more of a chore than anything else.
... Can you learn skills while bashing peoples' heads in?

Cast != Learn
Edit: To explain further: Learning skills is done either slowly over time or during transition periods. Like travelling.

BearsofInsanity, you might want to give your character a description.

Rather bratty and aggressive. Inventory (0.2/1) : * White Cotton Button-Down Shirt (Weight 0.1) * Brown Cotton Slacks (Weight 0.1)

Probably paladin. Awesome even if it's just a regular old tank.
