Runequest - improving skills and characteristics

[fruitsoftheforest]

My reading of the rules on pages 94-97 leads me to think that you can ONLY undertake practise or research if you've got improvement rolls spare from adventures. Is this right? It seems really restrictive. Tell me I've got this wrong.

I dont work for Mongoose, but noone had answered it. that is, indeed, correct.

All practice does is let you raise a skill that you havent otherwise used.

The idea is, generlaly, that you get about 3 chances to boost a skill, after each adventure.
