i read all the posts from this topic and i remember there is a GM command to learn skills(".learnskill x y z" x=skill id,y=starting skill lvl, z=max skill lvl). Instead of starting over on the skills u get u'r missing skill and u'r skill lvl back, hope it works. p.s my defense bar is missing too and i get crushing dmg from all lvl mobs, char Starfall.
