Damn, we got a shit load of new content. It was worth the wait for sure. Now to read it!

Also, I want to play a merchant and I want to start out with at least something to sell. But I don't want to make it an easy ride because easy rides are no fun. I sorta like T-bone's idea, but I have never played an RPG so you guys figure it out.

In Ars Magica (the only other RPG that I have even looked at) it was balanced with age. After a certain amount of time you had to roll aging dice every year. Depending on the outcome you would gain or lose certain traits.

If you do not speak a language or know anything about a language how can you have anything but abysmal in it?

Can I actually have a low (not 0) probability of understanding, say, Chinese even though I haven't studied it at all? Answer: No, it is literally impossible for me to understand someone speaking Chinese.

How is this not a valid skill pyramid?
3
222
11111

And this is:

4

hehehe, it is for new forum mods and such. Sense you have mod powers you should probably get a color in your name, seeing as that is the new craze.
