A couple of examples (healing, disguise etc) are given, but players are free to use it for other skills aswell. From there we started to discuss which skill can be enhanced skills and which ones not. The main discussion was about: - bluff (handbook?) - concentration (headband?) - diplomacy (handbook?) - gather info (handbook?) - intimidate (handbook?) - sense motive (handbook?) - tumble (spandex?) - jump (good footwear with grip?) and what we though was not possible was: - listen - spot What kind of rule do you use?

Spot and Listen are skill that are mainly used for noticing things when you're not *actively* looking/listening. A spyglass woudl work for Search, but not for Spot IMO. And nobody will walk around with two ear horn attached to his ears (although that woudl be funny). It *is* usable when actively hearing through a door (for exmaple).

Nicholas the Paladin 07-09-07, 09:54 AM	questions, questions, but no answers. anyone?
Wolf72 07-09-07, 12:50 PM	- bluff ... intimidating weapon or clothing (ala gang symbols, or a really big honking battle axe with blood dripping off it) - concentration ... type of good luck charm (I can't do it with out my rabbit's foot!) - diplomacy ... clothing again - gather info ... handbook? yes! or maybe some data given to you of where to look and ask questions - intimidate ... clothing again - sense motive ... no idea - tumble ... MW armor (already done) - jump ... good footwear with grip? ... I like this idea don't forget the situational affect either ... what may give +2 diplomacy vs waterdeep city guards may mean nothing to someone from shadowdale
