Some of those questions you have a very easy to do if you just look at the examples of other scripts. That's the best way to learn.. I think with the POL 095 distro having special arrows is somewhat different than having special weapaons since it's not the arrow that defines the damage, the bow just looks to see if the user has arrows and then does it's thing.

Level scripts go against a lot of the default UO behavior so having a level system requires a lot of modification the the core. You'd have to assign each monster an EXP value, then increment the players EXP, handle any possible level gain then, then you'd need to adjust damage and other things based on level, depending on how you're doing it, and possibly any EXP gain when dead, etc...

Your sword that isn't taking away the skill it gave after you take it off sounds like it might just be badly coded. Perhaps you could post the code for that here, or maybe fix it yourself as a way to learn.

if your just having levels based on xp thats not a problem... how ever if you want to have a skill based on xp thats alittle different... youd have to change lots of things, as for your sword look at what unequipt script its using and wether it is designed to remove the mod from the weapon special kinds of bows will be defined by the hit script IDK wether projectiletype is a r/w prop because you could define it like that and have the arrows set a prop on the char so the char knows which arrow to use and then when they equipt a bow it sets the hitscript depending on which arrow the player has chosen to use.

polar bears and drakes can only be ridable if you mod your client files generally done by use of verdata...

look at the wilderness gates for scripts on movement gumps or if you can get ahold of some old zulu scripts they had a npcs that allows you to travel from place to place by saying travel to them, you could steal the gump from that script aswell as for the throne and i dont know if this is posible but you would need to set a walk on script for it to increase the players regen rates.

As for healing you should look at the healing scripts, id presume theyd have functions for each indavidual function (heal, cure, res) as the end of the cure function add a call for the heal function so that way once its finnished curing it can start healing.
