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.

Trying...to...resist...but...Chuck's...just...too...charming...

Is the debate here over which archetype is most useful, or which skill set? The discount on buying skills is pretty small, so a Tough and Smart character wouldn't have that much of an advantage over a Smart and Charming character when it comes to buying Lock Picking, for example.

I'm with Chuck on this one: Lock Picking is available to everyone and works equally well no matter what your archetype is, but Flirting is definitely dependent on your character (and outfit). So Charm seems to have an edge in this regard.

Your point is well taken, there are two different questions here. 1)Is whether the skills in one statistical group are more effective the skills from one of the others. 2)Is whether a detective who is built around one of those statistics is significantly better off than a detective built around another one.

I was refering more to the first question when I said that Charm was a little weaker, but on review, I'm not even sure that is true.

In any event, all three of the new skills were designed to be advantageous to any detective, regardless of skillset. Of course, the acception is Safe Cracking which is absolutely useless to anybody who doesn't belong to an agency.

Because we'd shoot our private eye out, that's why? Well maybe when we're older?...

I can't say that I find pickpocketing very useful. My agency is rich enough as it is. :-)

Yep, I'm going to add a new thing or two to spend money on soon.

I was reading some of the previous entries; seems lack of storage for items was an issue in one of those pagess, don't know whether it still is, now.

Maybe Ben, you could add an option to buy an additional safe, to store more stuff. Of course it probably should come at a hefty cost, the price you have to pay for storing more items of use.
