Game Mechanics: Skill-up oddity

[ulzepdi]

I found a quirky behaviour in p99: if you get a skill-up as you die, it doesn't apply to your character.

I thought it was at least worth mentioning and documenting. I have no insight into the p99 codebase, so I can't comment if the skill-up code has re-used elements that might impact the game elsewhere. But, its always best practice to document odd observations, even if it does make a jira ticket that never goes anywhere.

I thought I had put in a ticket for this a long time ago but can't find it. It's fairly easily to replicate. I had made a level 1 halfling mule to corpse no rent items from the shadow men. I'd bag drop them and have the mule attack a npc. Many times it'd skill up something, 1hs, defense, offense, etc. but once you respawned, the skill up wasn't there.
