[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 6326466, member: 18"] I don't think it's clear, because I thought it meant that, but re-read it a number of times but couldn't get it to mean that, nor could I understand how "practicing your profession" outside of civilization would possibly work, or need to be mentioned. They should probably change that to not mention said profession, or explicitly say you can't use it, and have to live off the land - I don't feel like you could even really live off the land, totally unskilled, and still have time to "practice a profession" (even not making money), myself. Still very impressive lifestyle for Gatherer-Hunters though! Sheesh! Those dumb sheep-farmers wish they had it that good! No wonder Druids and Rangers protect the wilds when they can get a Comfortable lifestyle from them! Oh, deadlift, fair enough. Still a little skeptical that that should be STR 10, because I'm pretty sure any guy who can deadlift 290 isn't exactly average, and that month of training is fairly serious and involves a lot of calories, but there we go. EDIT - I can't believe you need BOTH Musical Instrument Proficiency (one for each instrument type!) AND the Performance skill to give a musical performance, when those are stacked up against skills like Stealth, Athletics, Investigation, and so on, and proficiencies like Thieves Tools. I mean, I guess some people want to niche-protect the Bard, but this seems hilariously excessive.
