Life Skills
 
#2
One time in college, I one of my flatmates was playing around with a set of lockpicks, and suggested that I have a go at them. It was a fairly crummy lock and therefore relatively easy for a beginner, so he taught me the basics of raking the pins while turning the shaft. I took up the tiny hook-shaped tool, and gave it the old college try. On my third attempt, rake-and-twist motion was successful, and the tiny padlock sprung open.

"Wow, this is pretty cool!" I said proudly, "Pretty good for an untrained open lock check."

My other flatmate, who had slunk in the door behind us, smugly countered, "Nope. Open Lock is trained-only. Congratulations on getting your first skill point in open lock!"

I looked up to face my DM. "Dammit. I needed that point for fluid dynamics this semester."
