[QUOTE="Lord Wyrm, post: 2577226, member: 36521"] As I have already mentioned pick skills that you as the player prompt, not the DM. Search is always fun for use on corpses(find that magic ring without taking 20 to do so like the rest of the party). Hide isn't just for hiding oneself, though the penalty is incredible you can no magically hide anything, which is good for the old ambush. Read Lips, a little Appraise, and the Profession, Knowledge and Craft skills are all prompted by the player 90% of the time. If the Dm isn't laying traps and throws creatures immune to crits at you then get creative with the freed up skill points. Use Magic Device is a show stopper with the right scrolls, and don't you love pairing that with Bluff and disguise and pretend to be the party mage. The evil wizard is real keen to kill another mage with fireball until you make that reflex save with evasion. Undead are a breeze when you use spells that cripple them, Sunbeam for one, or Hallow. Remember each scroll you cast from is one more spell that the cleric or mage didn't have to cast themselves. Make use of your downtime to really abuse your out of cambat skills while the mage and cleric crank out more scrolls. [/QUOTE]
