[QUOTE="Samothdm, post: 796144, member: 5473"] I think that this is an interesting concept, too, but like kits in 2E I think that 99% of the time stuff like this could come from straight role-playing and proper selection of skills and/feats. Sometimes, though, having a game mechanic as a "hook" for a character concept can be fun. In short, I look forward to continuing to see what people come up with. That said, a comment: I hope that this doesn't turn into a bunch of generic things like: *** [B]Bartender[/B] The bartender tends bar at a local inn or tavern. [B]BAB:[/B] +0 [B]Saves:[/B] Fort +2, Will +0, Ref +0 [B]Class Skills:[/B] Alchemy, Bluff, Diplomacy, Profession (Bartending), Sense Motive, Knowledge(Spirits), Knowledge (Local).
