Will Faction statloss work the same way as, or even stacked with, the Satyr Trick for skill gain?

It is my understanding that faction stat loss can be used in the same way as the Satyr Trick to increase overall skill gains. However, I do not know if it stacks. Could someone give this a try? --Ceruleus 08:47, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

as far as i know, you cannot gain any skill in faction stat loss

I can confirm that it does NOT work. You cannot gain in any skill as long as you are suffering from faction statloss --Merion 14:19, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
