Doctor Futurity's latest activity

Ordinarily I'd argue its all fine under the OGL but I did get this one....its a chunky book!... and was shocked to see the author...

I know that "skill feats are boring" is an overused complaint at this point, but I had a realization about why so many of them seem so...
