Summary0007173: A whole squad punching a rhino is giving ludicrous observer skill but no significant striker skill
DescriptionI've set 10 dwarves to kill a rhino near the edge of the map.
They are all densely grouped around the rhino, and all attacks are punches to the head.
Anyone attacking the rhino, including dwarves not in the squad, can gain a couple of levels of observer skill in a minute, and so most of the squad is at legendary skill.
Striker skill, however, remains mostly within the first few levels in the squad.

Yes, with the exception of instantaneous awakenings before giving into pain.

Creatures dont gain combat experience for attacking unconcious/friendly units. But I'm surprised that observer experience is gained.

My guess then is that it is from being in close proximity to thousands and thousands of combat actions.
