So it wasn't just me who thought that option was a little ridiculous then, i'm glad. Incidentally I have alot of issues with the character creation options, they are all well and good but it seems to me that anybody with any sense chooses the ones which give them the right stats then deletes all of the options in their description and writes their own story. Those that don't end up with ridiculous descriptions which give their characters the most eccentric and random stories i've ever seen. Maybe there could be a more RP way of doing it, I'd advocate something similar to the WoD 2.0 character creation sytem (it would have to modified alot anyway so it could still be original) where you have primary, secondary and tertiary areas usually prioritising a social, physical and mental groupings as to the ones which fit your character, you get so many skill points for the primary and less for secondary and less again for the tertiary. You can only spend so many points on each group anyway so it wouldn't create uber characters from the off (which can be done with the current options if you know how, especially with regards to certain magic ways.) You would get relatively balanced characters, and the character would start off with some skill in the areas he is roleplaying and less in the ones he wasn't. For example a mage would need a primary grouping of mental so he would have xx amount of points to spend between his magical ways, intelligence, will and other skills relating to that profession when and if implemented. he would then have a choice between becoming a battle mage or a domestic orientated one which would lead to him choosing either physical or social skills as his secondary, whihc he would have less points to spend in than his primary, and even less for the tertiary, effectively creating a more focused character rather than a character who can kill ulbers, mine a bucket full of gold and cast every glyph in yliakum all at the same time. it's just a thought
