[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 1837286, member: 5890"] In terms of the survival proficiency, you're proposing last-minute changes to the rules that say "only people with this new skill can do this. And you don't have it. Guess these NPC's I've whipped up do, so they get to do the job, not you". I agree entirely with these. Hence the "if the PC's come up with a plan I like, they can feel free to run with it". However "sailing the ship" is likely to be more of a case of "you muck around with the ship for a couple of hours - someone needs to give me a DC 15 wisdom check since you don't have profession(sailor). Oh, you failed? well, you'll need a couple of hours to try again" and "well, you've got plenty of climb and balance, so no problem working up among the rigging" and "Yes, your survival skill allows you to know roughly which way it is to port" As opposed to some people's stances which seem to say "nuh uh, no way, not gonna work without profession(sailor), profession(navigator), and you can't cook your food without profession(cook) either". But it does tell you which way it should be going to get back home. Even if it's floating out at sea. Some people seem to think that it can't. Hell, some people seem to think that people with survival possess the marvelous ability to walk to a point that they can see and nothing more. And that people without it get lost doing that 75% of the time. [/QUOTE]
