04-17-07, 09:00 AM One of my players was quite excited to see the new recognition for Item Creation feats, but wondered about Perform and Tumble. Don't those two skills also allow a character to earn a little money in the entertainment industry? I know that perform is pretty much the only one I've ever used for that purpose in a game.
Just a thought for future development.

Does the bonus EV for ranks in Craft skills (similar I believe) count once or do you get the increase every level? (or every adventure?)

Or Bluff... I usually don't play pickpockets; a good short-change scam goes a long way to liberate gold for those who have less.

On the other hand, while I would like to see the option expanded for Perform, I would understand not expanding CoH to Bluff, Slight of Hand, and Tumble. These skills are already immensely useful. Perform? Not so much. If you aren't a bard and don't have Favored in Guild (Entertainment), there is little reason to have Perform. (Though I did put it on my Phairlan elf for roleplaying/background reasons.)

Your CoH is calculated at the start of every adventure, so if you leveled and your ranks are now higher, you get that value instead of what it was before.

04-24-07, 03:04 PM ..but if you don't spend that cash-on-hand then does it get added to the EV permanently or do you just refresh up to the new CiH amount whether you spent the cash or not?

The wording in the CS is rather unclear since it says you add it directly to your EV and then implies that you don't.

[I'm fairly sure that you don't get to accumulate extra EV through craft ranks but it doesn't seem clear and it would make sense for crafting to have an ongoing effect without extra investment of skill points]
