You can raise your fighting skill to a maximum of 20 using a doll, up to 20 in any weapon subskill, and [[body control]]. To gain more skill points after that, you must fight in real combat.
You can also practice with a [[bow]] equipped, which will train [[archery]], fighting, and the type of bow at the same time. But it is much slower for archery than an [[archery target]], and it damages the doll more than a shaft.
Try to keep the quality of the doll as high as possible so that you will not damage it as much per hit. You will still get the same amount of skill, no matter how much damage you do or do not cause. Remember to repair the doll and your weapon often or they may break.
== Notes ==
* Unlike real combat, sleep bonus does appear to affect fighting skill gain from practicing on a practice doll.
* Bows can no longer be used to train. "You cannot practice attacks with bows on practice doll. You need to use an archery target instead."
