It may be a small thing, but small things is what make crawl good

I propose to give bonus to either EV or SH against enemies that armed with weapon that character is proficient with

If someone has high skill in, for example. long blades, then he knows what to expect against some orc with falchion. He knows how and where orc will strike even before orc finished his swing. He has much more chances to dodge or bloc the strike then some conjurer, that have seen swords only in enemies hands

Also this will make unused weapon skills at least marginally useful. Something that I really want

Actually, a monster on the hunt will never pick up an item dropped or thrown by the player. Now, if you got a follower to pick it up, then drop it again...
