EDIT: Others have mentioned that they read a lot. I do, too. Not just fiction, either, but mythology, documentaries, various treatises on a number of different subjects, etc.
I do this as well. The only skill Kiht has that I also have IRL is archery. However, she is a better archer as I only shoot at static targets.
I have researched pole-arm combat, knife-fighting, scouting and hunting for Kiht. But I do none of those IRL. I have done no research on leather-working or woodcraft.
Any other skills Kiht has, she and I learned in-game. Leadership is a good example of a skill I learned and improve upon with the help of RP and FC/LS organizing.
