Status of testing:
-Athletics Before and after most recent patch
-Power strike before the most recent patch
The mechanics works, for example if you have 16 athletics on website you have a lot(probably 16) athletics ingame, not 0 as ingame character page says.
This seems to be caused by:
4 bits being allocated for skill value for the ingame character(values capable of being shown=0 to 15), when I reach high enough level I will check if it starts over from 1 again if I for example spend 17 points in athletics. A lvl 38 character is more than welcome to test this for me otherwise I'll have to full retard no-lifing to be able to test this in 2015...
Easy fix: A bad solution would be to cap skills to 15, "hiding" this cosmetic error.
