An interesting skill is interesting if its role-played, its presence on the
character sheet isn't enough :)
One of the reasons I give players 3 free skill points for a hobby skill is
to encourage diverse skills. Its nice to have a character that 'reads a
book from his library', instead of 'goes out to the bar to get a chick'.

Isn't it wierd to have me contributing to actual threads? :) Third edition
seems to have everyone excited.
