I wanted to give you advanced warning. I'm starting to work on three new skills for players to purchase. There will be one each from the three statistics. It will probably be another 2 or 3 weeks before you can buy those skills. I particularly wanted to warn those of you with a lot of experience, just to give you the option of saving up skill points, since they come so slowly.

hmm, let me guess...
counterfeiting,
mind reading, and
divination?
am I close?

Wait.. let me try..
a PhD (so you earn more per mystery)
lie detection,
and a magnetic personality (for all those locked treasures where you need to find a bunch keys--maybe the keys will magnetically be drawn to you.)

sorry, last time i checked none of us are superhuman, or are any of us, Panthera?

well.. James Lee, what do YOU think the new skills will be called?

I'll try too - those are skills I could use anyway!
- a saving account (with a good interest rate!)
- a "waiting for the suspect to leave so you can lockpick" ability
- a choice between favors (like, you're getting well known, two or more town people ask you for help!)
+ a "guess what new skill will be introduced" skill :-)

i got one, how about a pick the window to bedroom skill?, so that way we get to see the appointment calender and the diary, and then just run out the same window when the suspect comes home or something

Oh, I want to guess too. Let's see...

1) Advanced Coupon Clipping
2) Lucky Guess ("I'd rather be lucky than good." --Lefty Gomez)
3) Wishful thinking (allows an agency to consider brass knuckles and cursed eggs to be "treasures").

How'd I do?
