These are skills I'm saying as GM are ones citizens of these Kingdoms would be more inclined to have then say some one from another Kingdom.<br/><br/>I like the one point higher then normal limit though I think I'll add that.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>That actually makes it worse. :( If we do have to this thing I wanted Juli to have max archery to match what I said in her background, but seeing as she's not a gypsy she can't have that.<br/><br/>The idea that something is a "right of passage" does not necessarily mean every one from that entire country does that thing, or even a majority. Poor people from Nydewia probably can't afford a horse. And what if you have a character from Nydewia with no legs? How's he going to ride a horse? :P And what's the graceful bonus going to do--do Theirians look more elegant while the people with good bonuses kill them? ;P<br/><br/>Okay, I'm being a bit glib, but in all seriousness I'm strongly against the nationality bonus idea. It's unrealistic and unfair to us as players IMO.
