#1 Rigol Aug 17, 2014 15:58:56	Looking at the rules, I see that adding new Proficiencies when you go up levels is really expensive!   You have to forego +2 worth of stat increases (at levels 4, 8 etc) just to take the Feat that allows you to add three Proficiencies.   I am building a Gnome Wizard and want him to have a nice range proficiencies in Artisan's Tools, for flavour as much as anything else. But it's a bit frustrating to have to sacrifice, say, +2 Intelligence just to add something like Profiency in carpentry, woodworking and jeweller's tools.   Am I missing something? Thanks for any views.   Mike

#4 Kugnar Aug 17, 2014 16:17:36	250 days is a huge amount of time though. I've never been in or run a campaign that has that much bumming around in it-the most we ever had was 1 month to heal from some nasty lingering wounds while our wizard set up an alchemy lab.
