I play a super skilled character. She's got a super long list of skills, but only one of them consistently maintained as mastery. She also has a unique condition that contributes to her being able to learn anything quickly, but that again, doesn't provide her mastery. She spends most of her time with her crafts, and with researching and trying to expand her skillset. If I had to knock off all of her other skills, however, I'd probably give her 1.0 Conjury (dem elemental spells, yo'), and Monk (which I need to level on her), on the combat side of things. On the crafting side of things, Cooking and Alchemy, or alchemical cooking, as she rather enjoys.Â
Everything else is fluff to give her a kind of in to talk to others about, or as a general skillset that she's started picking up since I began playing with her a little over a year ago, because of IC things that have happened, people she's come into conflict with, or just in general because she's a 'I want to learn everything' type of person. Typically, if she focuses too much on one area, she starts to slip in other areas, with the exception of healing, because she spent too many years in conjury to have that slide away from her, even if she doesn't heal someone every day.Â
I think that, like was said earlier, when your character becomes the central focus of an RP and leaves absolutely no room for others to positively contribute, then, your character has become too skilled. It's all about checks and balances, just like anything else is.
