Note that my long sword and hammer both have the * meaning can be
enhanced when more experienced, whilst my 2 handed combat doesnt. So
I figure I'll practise some more on 2-handed to give that a * as
well, when I kill a monster, do not gain a level, but get the
message telling you you can advance one of your slots (cant think of
the message at the moment). I check my #enhance screen, and sure
enough Long sword and hammer are still *'ed , but 2 handed is ready
to enhance. Is there are particular reason for this?

Yes. 

Since going from Basic to Skilled in unarmed combat needs only one
skill slot, however, it isn't.

But why didn't the asterisks at long sword and hammer disappear after he gained a level, and why couldn't he advance these skills?
