Thank you so much for the help--

This strongly irks the obsessive stats nerd in me but I enjoy the game a lot, so what are you gonna do.

I'm a newbie to the Avernum games, and I just started Avernum 2 last week.  However, I have run into something that doesn't make sense to me and I don't know if it's a bug or something that I'm just failing to understand.  I just hit level 2 for my party, and I'm in the process of leveling them up.  When I upgrade the "Blademaster" or "Sharpshooter" skills, though, it doesn't seem like it increases the weapon damage shown when I mouse over the equipped weapon.  My characters have bronze shortswords, so Blademaster should apply, but it doesn't seem to boost the damage.  

Does anyone have any advice?
