buying skills
Submitted by Khan-Seeker on Mon, 02/06/2006 - 14:21
Seeing Xhen's request to by a skill in elephants, I wanted to understand rules/limitations on buying new skills.
Neeri, having stolen the medallion(?) of one of the Pillars, realizes he has no nice secure secret place to store it. I imagined Neeri having something like a mini-Batcave to hold stolen goods, but never created it. So how can I go about buying the skill without just saying "I'm spending X point to have Secret Stash
Location"? Can I get a higher skill by using augments like relationship to Silent Path thieves, Conceal Item, and my sidekicks
underworld contacts?
skills relate to action
For skill purcases or increases to get the 1X multiplier, the change on your sheet must be related to some adventure that has occurred.
So, Neeri could buy "Secret Stash in Zanozar" if it is:
In the HQ of the Silent Pathists, whom you've visited
in the house of two pools
in the Tavern of Nine Marble Steps
in the Great Doored House of Foreign Rice Women
or something like that.
You could also use treasure recently gained in game to buy such a thing at a 1x cost, since the treasure was gained in play.
