("Sorry, diamonds that size just don't come around all that often. We had a run on them last week, after the Daring Heroes were almost completely wiped out in their trip to the Dungeon Of Painful Spikes.")Yeah, I somehow misremembered experts as earning half their skill in SILVER each week.EDIT: I should add something. I have no problem with PCs being the far end of the bell curve, being basically smarter, stronger, luckier, more talented, etc, than most, being "destined" in the sense they were born with superior abilities, had opportunities for training others lacked, were strong of will and purpose, etc. This is why PC-classed characters are rare and commoners are...common. I do have issues with the idea they are marked for greatness in an in-world way, where, by virtue of being The PCs, are "destined" to do more than some other equally strong, equally skilled, equally willful NPC. (It does lead to an interesting idea, though...Trial By Execution. All candidates for positions of great power and authority are executed. The ones who can be raised get the job, as the gods clearly intend for them to do Great Things.)The idea that there's an object test for 'Destiny' has some interesting implications, especially if the hapless character doesn't know what his destiny IS, only that he HAS one. There's a definite story hook there.</blockquote>
