You lose 5% of your experience in each skill per death. Below 20, that means losing 1 skill level, basically.
And, the effects of the skills are not so impactful as you might think in most cases. It's small boons, but, the difference level to level isn't enough to make a difference in say, the number of attacks required to kill an enemy.
EG: Taking out the RNG elements, assuming the enemy has 100 HP, and You deal 25 damage at level 1 skill. It would take 4 hits to kill it. All the way up to level 22 it would still take 4 hits to kill it. At level 23 you would finally kill that enemy in 3 hits; from which it would take all the way to skill level 67 before you can 2 shot that enemy.
Yes, Having the skills is nice- But they're supplemental, and not really worth being really upset about. You need to be refining your personal skills in combat, learning when to dodge, when to attack, what you can get away with, when to run, etc- Skill levels will come in time if you don't die. You can beat the game with level 0 skills, if YOU are good at it. The skills are the frosting, not the cake.
And for non-combat...Learn to build scaffolding, and never fall again. Stop trying to stand around on the corner of your slippery roof and build something to stand on and build from.
