Skills, skills skills, more skills

[cromcrom]

Did I say I love skills, and world interactions ? Some more :-)
Beekeeping: get more honey from hive. Chance to recover a queen, and set up your own hive.
Taming: some random baby animals in the world (either from lairs, or killing mothers, or whatever...) Taming would allow to keep the animals as followers, and maybe gain some of their "special powers"...The better the skill, the more chance to "recover" the animal. Bigger animal in case of critical success, animal is dead or dying in case of failure or critical failure.
Trading: get a better price when selling/buying. Maybe not a typical crtical success/ failure stuff, but a percentage of more of less gold, depending on the level (and maybe compare it with the merchant trading level...)
Scribing: ability to create powerfull magic scrolls. CS: better scroll, F or CF: scroll/ingredients destroyed
Music playing: set up a spectacle in an inn, or for a Lord, or whatever. Gain money or fame in case of success... Could also raise some followers moral...
Meditation: Increase mana regeneration.
Athletics: either go faster, or lose less stamina from moving around.
Shamanism/High dreaming: I will talk about this in an other post.
Jewelry: obvioulsy, turn raw stones into something more valuable, either for magic crafting or selling...

As you see, the point is not in making a complex world, but in making a richer world, as your knowledge grows. Taming could be as simple as a random animal, that you either attack, or "talk to". The talking could lead to a taming possibility ("you can try to tame this animal"). Either you take the chance, succeed and get a new follower, fail and the animals runs away, not to be seen again (and you loose the opportunity to kill it to gather some components...). All about choice and richness of the world interactions.
