[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 1229441, member: 1356"] Paxus is right, the Skill Synergy feat is nice but it can't be taken by 1st level characters. I mainly took the skill boosting feats I did to be reasonable decent with the concept I was going for. Of course that just reflects a problem with the system in accurately reflecting realistic modern day people. None of the "hero" classes really has the skill set that a typical kid would have. Like all the physical skills you get from just being a kid- climb, jump, tumble, balance maybe hide, move silently and spot. Then the stuff you learn in a typical shool education- computer use, and knowledge skills like science, history, research and pop. culture. The only way to build a "typical kid" would be to start as a 1st level Expert. We could try doing it that way. Since before we get to Hogwart's we really shouldn't have any skill in Alchemy, Arcana or Spellcraft. But that's just my feeling. My character is mostly what I wanted. I guess he's just naturally talented in some of the formal things we'll be learning at Hogwart's. As for technology, I'm fine with preserving the feel of the books. I didn't want to come in with a laptop and a cell phone or anything. I was just thinking of things like Gameboys or walkie-talkies. I hope a skateboard isn't too much. Since he just came from the states it really fit. I'm thinking of getting it enchanted to fly like a broom later on. :D (Never really like the idea of "brooms". Seems like it'd be kinda painful for guys. How about carpets?) How do you feel about the "Magical Talent" feat. I think that's the name. The one that gives you the natural ability to cast 3 cantrips once a day. Urban Arcana has the "Wild Talent" feat which is the same thing but for psionics. I would've taken a feat like that if it was available. It would really reflect the kind of natural spellcasting that would show you were wizard rather than a muggle. [/QUOTE]
