[QUOTE="Foxen, post: 4384251, member: 71674"] Boarstorm, awesome post...heh. For the game I play in, the GM is allowing each player to have ONE basic crafting or whatever skill. Up until the last game, my character was the only one who was implementing her "domestic" skill through cleaning, cooking, washing, and more cleaning...which was explained in her character background write up. Boo to all the other players who didn't write up "useless" skills in their backgrounds! For my game I run as GM, I am quite cruel and took a lesson from the other gaming group. Characters may ONLY have crafting and other profession skills IF they wrote it up in their character backgrounds...of which, only one player turned in a background (and got a free magic item at character creation!) but unfortunately his entire background was filled with the awesomeness of his combat prowess. Now almost every player in the gmae I run WANTS a profession...from the female half-elf flirting with the baker, to the dragonborn warrior intimidating the local tanner and blacksmith to teach him a trade...it's hilarious. It's also a farcry from 3.5e....where this gaming group was almost the "merchants and traders", foregoing aventuring to business craft, and making money through running an inn, and conning old fat rich men of their wealth (once again, the female half-elf at work...who just LOVES her charsima based skills).
