Skill Question?

If skill and technique is all you need in most occupations, then what is the importance of all the other things like strength, speed, precision, etc.?

"Eratoeir is a Gangsta."

Aren't those included in evaluating skills?

Your stats do not really matter that much; what matters is to be a Divine Minion 1/Wizard 1/Master of Many Forms 3 Kobold.

In many proficiency checks, you usually have to roll a stat modifier along with your skill roll. Certain skills also use a raw stat roll combined with a skill modifier, but that's usually included in the build. Stats are also important in making sure you can keep up with many skill-tests in a row, since you have to pay the stamina/fatigue costs for every time you use a proficiency skill.

Exactly.

Not necessarily. Depending on the circumstance modifiers, you may easily find yourself wishing that you had invested more points in stat training instead of skill ranks.
