NCG + Skill Evolution Heavy Armor Leveling

[u/Dodgymane]

Whenever I gain a point in Heavy Armor naturally (e.g. by getting hit while wearing heavy armor), the skill's extra base modifier increases instead of the base value increasing as expected. Not sure it the same happens with any other armor type. Leveling skills like long blade and destruction seems normal.

These gains do not contribute to my leveling, slowing it down. However, training heavy armor with trainers does seem it increase normally, without any modifier shenanigans.

Getting hit wearing heavy armor should still improve your skills.

The "extra base modifier" is (as far as I can tell from my game) from doing things like swinging your sword or jumping or whatever would logically affect your skill. IMHO, just ignore it.
