(ii) Unusual skills that most people have level 1 in. I'm thinking stuff like Animal Taming, Animal Lore, etc - don't know how well the rarer skills have been tested
(iii) Attributes
The problem is that there seems to be a lot of variability at all different levels of avatar advancement, but data reliability is a big problem. I have that script that pulls down skills from wiki and crunches it, but it's a perpetual problem to know if the player has uploaded a complete set and how accurate the numbers are. We really need to establish the base HP with some degree of accuracy for new and old -- maybe that's been done. My skills predict a number very close to my actual health, and i have enough of the taming skills that it would skew it -- assuming the baseline is correct.

If people could upload a complete (i.e. all skills over 1.0) and accurate (i.e. using jdegre's scanner and checking that the professions it predicts are correct) skill snapshot to wiki and then post here, i could selectively grab their data and then let the program look for trends and such.
