In both of the games I have played so far, this skill has been one of the lowest and in the first game I was not experienced enough to know what to do I suppose. Because I couldn't seem to find training that often, or wanted the training for something more useful, I decided to start punching rats and mudcrabs, which is easy enough and the points started to add on.

One day, I came accross a nice deer, (lovely craetures really) and I had the idea to command it, then punch it a few times, then command it again and heal it, then punch, command, heal etc until I got a point, then I healed it again and went on my way.
I won't kill these creatures any longer, I did a few times at first, when I needed to get venison for feather poitions but haven't done that for ages.

Next was a boar I think and instead of the sneaking type of punch which does more damage, a quick command and then a flurry of about 5 or so 'HogFists' I call them can be applied before it decides to retaliate, then command, heal and punch again,
until the point comes.

It's just a bit of fun really, to see how many 'MinotaurFists', 'TrollFists' or 'OgreFists' it takes to get to the next point, bearing in mind that the higher the points go, the next point is going to require more effort.

I have punched everything a few times, including Lichs, Will-O-Wisps and several Wraith types, but I didn't imagine that it would work on any of them and I'm not sure if it does but having said that
I have often seen minotaurs punching and head-butting all of these though so maybe it does work?

I haven't punched a Slaughterfish yet, as these are not so easily defeated and it seems the Rumare slaughterfish are tougher than the ordinary ones. Plus, I don't spend that much time underwater but will surely try it some time soon.

Alternatively, another way to get points for several skills at the same time is to summon a skeleton guardian maybe and use the bow for Marksman points, then the blade and then the club for some blunt, while blocking and if you take any damage,
that can add on a point or for Alteration after healing yourself. You can also get points for heavy and light armor this way, sneaking, atheletics and acrobatics (if you jump a bit:) (as well as points for doing repairs to weapons and armor) so it can be very useful to do this and if you set off a few fireball spells at it, you can get a point for Destruction as well.

Ahahaha I had quite a laugh here. So the principle is punch everything? I don't like leveling up my skills like that it makes you sound like some animal abuser ahahaha. :biggrin:
Its quite funny really. You are like: "So you don't want to be abused? Command creature/humanoid now I will force you to be my punching salad" Not to mention the healing spells
