    Ok, my char, monk, when I don0t have anything equiped reads "Skill Decreased" at the very bottom of the char sheet...

    Is this a bug in which the char got fuxxored when I was hit by disease at the begining of my campaing, or is it supposed to be that way because of his 9 int. and 8 char.?

    [edit]made a new char(thesame) and it does not have this.

    How can I fix this? it has been over a day game time and I still have "skill decreased".

    I DID, i just patched up, and nothing, I still have that line "Skills Decreased" bellow efects!

    How is this affecting the development of my char?

    I really don't want to start over, I'm at lvl 7, how can I fix it?

    I do believe it is because of your low INT. If it's so low it effectively disables you from any advanced dialogue, not to mention gaining many of the skills that non-retarded characters get.

    Was their any equipment you were carrying that gave a skill bonus? Perhaps taking that piece off prompted the reply from the game.

    [Edit: Just noticed the 'unequipped' part of your post.]

    The only thing I can think of is that, as Tal says, your character's low INT and CHA scores are causing the message by affecting one of your skills. It's possible that the message just didn't kick in until later in the game. The game seems to have some 'hiccups' in it where certain messages and prompts don't always kick in immediately. This could happen if you used a potion, spell, or item to increase a skill or ability and the message was prompted after the effect ended (or you unequipped the item).
