A weeks downtime...

[DM Bob]

Post a 7 day schedule of spells, skills attempted to learn, etc... here. Anyone who wishes to utilize the new proficiency rules? Now's a good time to do so. Anyone taking teaching can simply swap out.

Teaching Mental defenses:
HurK will teach anyone who wants to learn how to put up a rudimentary mental defense against the way.

--------------
Learning NWP:

Don't know how many actual sailing days HurK has had with the siblings & Abez but I found my original post from 48 weeks ago where HurK wanted to help and start learning:
-Sea(silt)manship
-Sail manipulation
-Distance sense
-Direction sense
-Astronomy *
-Rope use

*when we showed Mak the stone Blue Age Astrolabe, HurK also mentioned he would learn it's functioning:

When shown the contraption, Mak looks over it for a moment before figuring it out. "This is for navigating. Old, but Mak can show how to use."

HurK sits with Mak and Abez to learn the workings of the star map.

--------------
Learning WP:

When La’yor first came aboard (48 weeks ago as well), HurK asked her to teach him how to properly hold and throw his Chatchka's. HurK will continue that AND Zerka training with Kri-kcht this week.

You need a player with specialization in the blade in question to get a freebie.

As long as you have non-weapon slots open? Take whatever suits you.

No one has Chatchka specialization and I don't have any open NWP slots so business as usual, lol.

I would like to learn Contact .
Then, if we return back and the lawmakers allow me, I'd love to learn Weaponsmithing if they know this skill to proper forge steel from iron, or maybe any other NWP they may know and are willing to teach. Also, as they spoke about libraries and books, I'll be happy to learn Reading/Writing to keep some record of accountancy and not be scammed in any market due my lack of literacy, even when this seems like a chimera.

I can teach the following NWP:
Dancing, Heat Protection, Water Find, Jumping, Camouflage, Persuasion, Survival [Stony Barrens], Artistic Ability [Bone Carving], Tumbling, Weaponsmithing Crude, Animal Training.

And the following WP:
Singing Sticks, Wrist Razors.

[DM Bob]

Anyone?

Jason, since contact can be taught free and with more than person learning... would you be interested?

[Attilius]

HurK will pop his hard hat on and begin fixing all the outer broken walls of the city for the next 7 days

[Deleted]

Hey, if it's free I'll take it. No NWP open at the moment, so I was going to pass.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

I'll take it too, as I don't have any free slot either, thank you.
In that case, after I visit Bodach inside at least once - pure curiosity - I will help HurK rebuilding the wall to keep the momentum, unless someone requires some training.

I can teach disguise, information gathering, Urban Survival, literacy, and Heat Protection. I have 1 slot unused so want to learn land based riding or animal handling.

I have Animal Training if it's of any help, but I'd love to learn Literacy, if you mean Reading & Writing.

[DM Bob]

Literacy is part of my house rules. If you haven't already noticed, I've been trying on expanding the proficiency rules/slots. Literacy is taken once and reflects any/all of the languages you speak... you are now able to write any of those languages known with one instance of selecting Literacy.

I also have kept the number of true languages needed in game to a minimum. It's Athas and not Oerth or Faerun. Of course there's dead languages and species specific dialect, but I wanted to make sure that any open skill slots were used on useful background training.

Funny thing is, in a lot of 2E games I've refused to implement the proficiency rules as a whole and relied on detailed character backgrounds instead. Because I pull so much from canon in Dark Sun, I use the rules but expand them instead.

That's understandable, a Franca Lingua
Yes, as it was offered, I'll try to learn it.
