+=== Proficiency Levels of Skills ===
+
+In Hengband, characters possess different proficiency levels or
+experiences for each weapon type, spells, and a few other skills. The
+starting proficiency levels and the maximum proficiency levels of a
+character are based upon class. Each proficiency level may increase
+when you practice with it, and can be checked by the 'Check various
+information' command (~).
+
+For weapon proficiency, you need to hit monsters many times with a
+weapon of that type to practice. And your to-hit bonus of the weapon
+will increases with the proficiency level of it. The rate of increase
+is dependent upon the level of the character and the level of the
+opponents.
+
+For spell proficiency, you need to cast the spell many times in a deep
+level of the dungeon to practice. And the fail-rate and mana
+consumption rate of the spell decreases when the proficiency level
+increases. The level of the dungeon you need is dependent upon the
+level of the character and the level of the spell.
+
+The effect of the proficiency level of the Dual Wielding and the
+Martial Arts is almost same as the weapon proficiency; These will
+effect upon your to-hit bonus of dual wielding combat or bare handed
+combat.
+
+For the proficiency level of the Riding, you need to attack in melee
+or shoot with missile weapon when riding. And your speed increases up
+to the mount's speed when the proficiency level increases. (see
+monster.txt#Pets [5])
