Mitigated Penalties is a member of the Stats group of skills that is available at character level 20. Raising this skill at or above your character level will incur an experience point penalty. As a Stats skill, Mitigated Penalties can only be raised actively, by defeating monsters and earning experience points directly. This skill is good if you use enchanting stones to alter the stats bestowed by your equipment, since enchanting stones always confer a stat penalty in addition to a stat bonus. The bonus-boosting counterpart skill is Stat Enhancement, also a Stats skill."@en . .
