> I like it, but with some of those things you're getting too specific. Could every Elf learn to make lambas wafers and every Dwarf to forge mithril? I guess they could, but it would be unrealistic maybe if you thought of some broader skills they could acquire. Otherwise I think it's a very good idea.

I am inclined to agree. Snarf and a few others who
know about the code I've been working on also know I have been doing
something very similar.. You take X percent of the population,
and randomly assign Y skill, which they may (or may not) learn
at a later date. This way, not everyone will have a skill appear
later in life.. but if they do, it is unlikely it will be exactly
like something someone else manages to learn.

Of course, it is just as easy to have them roleplay it and
simply assign them the skill at X level, regardless of class
or race, if they fit the mold.
