The early stages of CKMud can be difficult to overcome. One thing you can do early on to make battles easier is training commands such as pushups and jogging. These commands not only increase PL, but can also increase your main stats(STR, SPD, etc). Battles are highly efficient ways of gaining various stats. It is the main way to increase PL and LP. In addition you can occasionally gain damroll, hitroll, str, int, spd, and wis. Using a Physical attack like kick or punch will give you XP towards strength or speed. While using Ki attacks like kishot or kamehameha will give XP towards int and wis. The amount the gains from battles is determined by the strength of your opponent. The stronger the enemy, the better the gains. More powerful opponents also increase the chance of them dropping a dragonball.
