The
Martial Arts skill is a defensive skill. Think of it as armor for Martial Artists. The
Unarmed Combat skill is an offensive skill -- used like a weapon skill.

I can't even hide on a rat, so how do I improve? How do I get search? I search my brains out but I don't have any search ranks so I can't see anyone. Does this mean I'll never get search ranks? I heard there's a skill called Spot. How do I earn ranks in that?
Hiding can best be learned by hiding in front of other people (the larger the group, the better) while you have low ranks in the skill. Then try creatures.
Searching works the same way, but only on hidden players. Searching when there is no one hidden in the room does not help.
Spot is a passive skill that is only trained when you happen to notice someone hiding, stealing (from you or anyone), stalking, etc. It gives you bonuses to almost all the other stealth skills.

Yes, there's a huge association between level and combat experience earned. There's a bell curve where when you are the same level as the creature you've killed, you'll gain 100% of the experience value of that creature (plus or minus a few random points and/or based on other factors).

It shouldn't disappear. If it has, it's a bug and should be reported at

Pasta sounds good, but I was thinking more along the lines of a deep-dish lasagna with an Itallian sausage meat sauce. Mmm. Now I want Olive Garden.
