I just GM'd Meditation, and now, everytime I actively meditate, my strenth (the only stat I have set to increase) increases by 1. I just gained 5 strength points in 5 minutes!

Is this just some side benefit of GMing Meditation?

lol, probably a bug generated by the fix they put in for people not gaining stats from some skills.

Come to think of it I maxed STR last night and all I was doing was casting EV's at liches.

Hmmm, interesting,*goes to try it out *

That's what I was thinking.

It is a new feature. They implemented a change so that vet characters (defined as a character who has 700 skill points, and at least one at gm) will gain on EVERY successful skill check, as long as the skill is up and you have stat room. since Med raises int and str, and you have int locked, all your gains are str.

Oh ok...well that makes some sense...except that my skill is only at 670 total so far, so maybe the requirements for that are a little less high than what you're saying.

Interesting benefit, though.

Yah, i noticed the difference in 700 skill points too. Gonna wait a bit, then change the posts once I get more confirmation

Don't know if this helps but I'm still below 700 and now that I think about it I gained from 77-95 strength just after I finished the spellweaving quest and trained up to 30ish. That's a big gain for the hour maybe that I spent training it.

i wiill definitly try this out very cool

Hmm, well, were you carrying anything in your arms? A heavy sword and shield perhaps?
Waving your arms around to cast spells must be like a virtual workout, so..it'd make sense to gain str!
