It has been an interesting experiment. A guy who I decided to do this with halfway into his life had maxed out weapon skill without buying any at level 8 or 9. I've since created new warriors specifically to try this. The theory is that I keep them moving up the ranks as slow as possible to minimize hitting the wall and build up their skills as much as possible. One is level 3 and at 7.3 weapon skill. He's had 4 career fights. Only 2 until the new system went in then he got 2 more. Another is at 8.5 at level 5 with 12 career fights.

Is it worth all the trouble? I don't know. They are certainly beasts and when I bust them out on a favorable black market day (i.e. wins and kills help) they decimate the competition and when they randomly match up with people they are pulling a 92% winning record. But they are all obviously still very short on experience.
