-1 in skill level doesn't work with {Skill}-{Level} pattern #4

I feel that the skill level shorthand doesn't work for starting skills which start at a -1. In your example you have Exert-1 or Heal-2 .

So is it -1 in Exert, or 1 in Exert? Logically -1 would be written as Exert--1, vs +1 as Exert-1. Typographically, this is a very tiny difference, reducing readability. It's going to be even harder to read if written down on paper.

Perhaps the easiest fix would be {Skill}:{Level}. Now Exert: -1 and Exert: 1 are much simpler to differentiate.

I think you're totally right - I'll go through and change it to {Skill}:{Level}
