You can't get good at anything but healing (and perhaps >dealing with people) by doing this! Or if not, there should be reasons built into the strucvture of your world why its not a good idea. I basicly agree. As long as someone is not directly and seriously impacting the intended purpsoe of the environment they should be free to be as creatviue as they want in how they react to and deal with it. If they find a hole in your logic and exploit it then plug the hole. >This also ties into activities such as fishing, and crafts.

They cant be iron miners, or even weaponsmiths (yet, it may change when we add AD&D proficiencies) btu they CAN make money escorting caravans or even organizing their own. These caravans of course though get attacked, which is why peoepl liek them are needed... Jeff Kesselman Jeff Kesselman Snr.
