I add stuff like that to my characters without using skill points, to give them
a more complete backround. I think that's necessary to make a complete character
, although I don't use these skills (yet). I add these skills without using
skill points, because I don't use them as normal skills. They're just a part of
my character, what he does in his spare time.
