Skill Descriptions

[Morgaine Le Fay]

A pet peeve of mine has always been the Skill Descriptions in GoS. I like the skill names, but sometimes, the descriptions are plain ol' terrible.

I'm mainly talking about ones that use the word "fill"

Point in case:

Grapevine Twines

Thieving attack to fill you with experience


Is it just me, or this an atrocious description??? "Fill you with experience?" I don't like the connotations of the word fill, suggesting i'm some sort of vessel, waiting to be filled.

I know this sounds slightly insane, but can we PLEASE change them!? "Thieving attack with extra experience" or something similar would be fine. Anything but FILL!!!

If you were looking for more skills to use, here are all the ones in the books with a description of each....

Unfortunately that means there are only 40 total skills to go with.....but at least we have correct descriptions

Hey, with forty skills at three every five levels....
That should still bring us up to at least level 60 - 20 levels more than we have now.
Besides, I've heard there are actually more like 60 sword-forms, including those not mentioned in the earlier books.

Morgaine: The skills need to be completely revamped ANYWAY, IMHO. I agree the descriptions could use a little work, though.
