[QUOTE="DonaldRumsfeldsTofu, post: 1090739, member: 9008"] You don't particularly see any new skills, but here are some ideas I had. Tell me if they're idiotic. Memory [Wis] Use this skill to recall the name of someone you met, remember an experience from your past, or memorize complex trains Check: A character can make a check to remember something a character or player would otherwise forget. Alternatively, he can make a check to memorize something complicated on the spot DC| Memory 10| Name of person, place, or thing (if the name is dirivitive of a language the character knows) 20| Name of a person, place, or thing (If the name is dirivitiver of a language the character doesn't know) 0| Remember a major event in the charater's life 10| Remember petty fact or minor accourance that happened recently +5| Every six months since the character has heard the name or experienced the encounter (does not apply to major events) -5| If the character concentrated on memorizing the event 17| DC to Memorize a ten-word, number, letter, or component pattern +5| Every five components added to the pattern Retry: For memorizing something; Yes. For recalling a name or event, you may retry the next day. Special: Anyone with a form of deminsia gets a -4 to -10 penalty to all Memory checks, depending on the level of seriousness of the alement. Research [Int] Similar to Gather Information, this skill represents your eptitude at the ability to gain information on a subject using written material made available to you.

DC| Scenario 10| Recognizing a familiar taste 20| Recognizing an unfamiliar taste 15| Tasting a major component in something you're tasting 20| Tasting a milliliter of substance in a cup of liquid 30| Tasting a drop of substance in a cup of liquid 25| Identifying the aproximate year in which a bottle wine was made I know they're rusty and need some fine tuning, but what do you think?
