ok

ok as to swimming and the like, sure. marathoners, bowling, jarts. all special skills. But these kinds of things can, and in general should be combined. most characters that are going to have swimming are also the kinds of characters that could run for a good distance. and if you can run, you can jump a good distance. They are athletic characters. If you have an interest in keeping the skills separate then fine, it just seems like they could be put together, and that if you had a swim at rank for you could prolly outrun a guy who has running at rank 1. Plus if you have climbing at 4 or 5 you are in about as good a shape as a person can be. If swimming isn't a physical talent, then make it Int based, blah blah.

You have other skills that could be broken down, but that in general sucks.

How the fuck to someone practice the falling skill and not die in this game? Jump off a 20 ft cliff? It's a wicked retarded skill. Just combine it with something, anything. Who the fuck has falling? I mean really...If someone wants falling for their character let that asshole justify it to the Dice Commander, and let it be a shameful thing between the 2 of them, but don't encourage that bullshit.

animal training, breeding, riding, healing, and more are all separate skills, but thank god you don't have them. Track should be able to be done, with Perception and Wilderness survival, or lore. It's dumb that a guy could track a deer, but not a guy. It's dumb that a guy could notice the kind of boot a person is wearing, and it's track, but not be able to follow them as a path.

ok, enough kvetching.
