[QUOTE="GhostBear, post: 5952405, member: 6667527"] Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. [sblock]I have an addiction. I am addicted to flavor-based skills. Skills that rarely, if ever, have any use in a campaign but I feel are fun to have. Such skills include, "Doll Making", "Ancient Draconic Epic Poetry", and "Cooking: Exotic Cuisine". Many a time has there been a skill check that I have missed by one, skill checks that might have saved another character grief, given us additional information, or discovered a secret door or trap. And sometimes I hear muttered, "If he had spent his skill points on something useful..." There is a new game starting soon, one with wide open seas, pirates, ship battles, and buried treasure, and I am once again feeling the urge to pick an unusual skill. This time, I am considering, "Profession: Book Binding", as my character was a book binder by trade (and used his forgery skills to make copies of expensive books which were sent to him to be rebound - so he can sell the original, and give the forgery back to the client) before deciding to, ah, "vacate the premises in search for opportunities abroad due to a hostile business environment in his current locality." Father, what is my penance? Help me to keep from sinning again, as the urge is quite strong...[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
