Unused skills will start to decay over time, by roughly 0.01 point. The higher the skill level, the lower the amount of skill decay on it. Low skill have skill decay once a week, while high skills can have skill decay up to once a day. This means that people with low skills will hardly notice skill decay, while the very high skills will have trouble maintaining them. Decayed skill points are re-gained at 3x the normal skill rate.
