My Best skilled (it's almost unfair):

Tailoring — expertly
Carpentry — expertly
Manufacturing tools — expertly
Hunting — expertly
Cooking — expertly
Farming — expertly
Forestry — expertly
Manufacturing vehicles — expertly
Collecting — skillfully
Fighting — skillfully
Manufacturing weapons — skillfully
Burying — efficiently
Digging — efficiently
Building — novicely
Manufacturing machines — novicely
Refining — awkwardly

I'm sure there's someone out there with a character with skills worse than my worst, so I won't bother posting it.

Edit: Age, 35 and has done odd jobs, nothing steady. He spawned this way.

You should also give an age and his most common job.

*paging Surly* ;)

Well, I don't have full lists for most of my chars, but...

Hunting — expertly
Fishing — skillfully
Burying — efficiently
Manufacturing machines — efficiently
Carpentry — novicely
Manufacturing weapons — novicely
Manufacturing tools — awkwardly
Cooking — awkwardly
Digging — awkwardly
Farming — awkwardly
Tailoring — awkwardly
Fighting — awkwardly

That one's 26, and actually quite successful, mostly because I'm a hyperactive player, I assume. Not so good when you consider how useful the four decent skills actually are, though. Explain to me why burying is even a skill. The project likely takes 2-3 ticks anyway. Fishing isn't much hotter, and machinemaking isn't likely to work as a full-time job anywhere.
Notice the fighting skill. He did a stint as a guard. :lol: Currently, he's a captain, and I expect that cooking skill to bump up sometime in the future.

Not going to try to beat Doug R. Mine have hardly even discovered eight skills. ;)

Most of my charries only have about seven skills each.
The only one that has a strong-ish set of skills is 23 and works as a hunter.

Making tools = expert
Farming = expert
Making weapons = expert
Fighting = expert
Tailoring = skillful
Hunting = skillful
Cooking = efficient

My worst hasn't done much, but isn't very good at the things they've tried. 24 and works as a.......er.......aimless wanderer.

Making weapons = expert
Digging = novice
Farming = novice
Hunting = awkward
Fighting = awkward

I guess this is my best character. He's in his thirties.

Farming — expertly
Gardening — expertly
Refining — expertly
Building — expertly
Fighting — expertly
Hunting — skillfully
Manufacturing tools — skillfully
Tailoring — skillfully
Forestry — efficiently
Cooking — efficiently
Manufacturing weapons — efficiently
Digging — novicely

He's also an expert with using shields. Quite a strong fighter in other words... 8)

If I'm not mistaken, defense and offense uses the same skill ("fighting", or "strida" for some of our chars).

22, not counting Physical strength (which is not listed in the character info).

Digging — expertly
Fighting — skillfully
Manufacturing weapons — expertly
Farming — skillfully
Burying — expertly
Hunting — efficiently
Manufacturing tool — expertly
Refining — efficiently

It's not in order because I just copy/pasted from the page, and so they came up in twos. It's in order if you skip on out each time then go back to the top...

My youngest character. I hadn't expected him to be good at everything, and he's actually a bit of an idiot. But excels at everything he does. It's helped me a lot with roleplaying him, made it more interesting.

Whereas my eldest charact, a full 10 years older, is poor at almost everything. I can't be bothered to go get the list though.

He is about to turn 50. He lives in the desert digging, hunting, and 'protecting'.
