[QUOTE="Liolel, post: 1451311, member: 1766"] Hmm, heres a few ideas. Balance: What season is it. If its winter, a battle may occur in an area covered with patches of ice. Or maybe some oil is spilled as part of an ambush. Handle Animal: The pc is traveling on a horse or with someone who's on a horse and something spooks the horse. The skill could be used to calm the horse down and stop the horse from bolting I believe (or that might be ride, in which case the situation is still useful because events shouldn't always play to a pc's strengths. Jump: In the dungeon an old pit trap is open but blocking the corridor. Use the jump skill to get over. And if the check fails you have a use for climb. Sense Motive: A diplomatic situation with someone not entirely trustworthy would have plenty of chances for this to be used. Or a sorcerer charms a friend and the skill can be used to detect the charm. Those are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head. The real problem seems to me is that the pc has so many different skills its hard for all of them to be useful and with the skillpoints divided so much that difficult tasks would be beyond the use of most skills. But that is just an assumption. [/QUOTE]
