I was sitting in my room, scratching my... head thinking about some ideas, and bang this came up when my sister came in smelling like she poured a whole bottle of whatever on her.

SCENTS (maybe not the most elegant name but you get the idea)
- Create and Emanate Scents

Some skills I thought up perhaps would be:

PERFUME
- EMANATE VANILLA/FOREST/OCEAN/DEAD CAT
- Mixing various herbs together, you put together a perfume.
- Pretty much an appearance thingy, you might walk out of the room wafting vanilla or something.

PHEREMONES
- EMANATE PHEREMONE TARGETTING
- So addictive is your scent that none can resist your sexual prowess
- Afflicts Lust.
- Perhaps even make it so that you can make Pheremones which targets races since not a sheep pheremone is not going to attract say a dog. Ooo a shog or a dheep!

FUMES
- EMANATE FUMES
- So strong and vile is your scent that all who is near gags and vomit.
- Kinda like me after a month with no shower (only joking )

AROMA
- EMANATE AROMA
- Emanate the smells of a delicious feast
- Makes a person hungry really quickly. So when fighting, the person would get damage from being starving.

HIDE SCENT
- HIDE SCENT
- Being so controlled in your scent, you are no longer target from aggressive beasts.

TRACE SCENT
- TRACE SCENT
- Trained into identifying different scents, you can detect where one is on the same continent.

FOLLOW SCENT
- FOLLOW SCENT
- No longer bound by your mortal body, you can shed your skin and arrive at another person's location on the winds of their smell.

DRIP
- DRIP

INTO
- Mastering your own control of smells, you are now able to produce scents in bottle form.

Anyways some ideas to throw around in. If you got others, throw them in too.

...bizarre...won't comment, though, 'cept that that ain't no trade skill.

Not getting hit by aggro mobs? -rofl-

Edit: Seriously, though. I like the ideas, but they're really not a trade skill.

I donno, I consider Poison to be a Trade skill.

Kinda similar really, especially if you can sell it.

Poison is a trade skill, so this can be a trade skill too. Something like a mix of arts, environment/discipline (but more attack-wise), and of course Poison. But with different abilities, which would do different things. Of course.

But the question is: how would the character LEARN to emanate these smells? Maybe if it had some weird abstract skill as a prerequesite... or maybe Lowmagic. We all know Druids don't wash themselves <--- saying that to spite all my friends who play druids in games like DnD, especially my brother.

Here's a skill!

FART
Once trained in the Scent skill, you have the ability to create poisonous gas which lingers.

creepy...

That almost made diet coke come out of my nose...

For some reason this reminds me of skunks or ants sending pheromone messages ......quite oddful.

Maybe you have to mix certain herbs and things together to get the scents, then put them in vials? And you can get an animal's scent from its corpse, and then sell it to people who don't want to be attacked by that creature.

Yeah I started off with ideas like that, then it got out of control.

but I believe a smellmaster (or whatever you want to call them) should be able to make smells.

I know wolfs or other animals can breathe certain smells out to communicate somewhat.

BTW AmajoS, you joined on my Birthday

Aromist, Perfumist...but not Smellmaster. Please no.

Introducing - THE SMELLMASTER -

Now complete with sounds and programmable smells.

Also available: iSmell (For Macs) and "Scratch and Sniff - The Tainted Wars"



Sorry but I hadda.

Quite apart from the name, this still is no tradeskill. Fart just made it worse! Stop it!

It is so a tradeskill! You can bottle it up and flog it! IE TRADE!

If poisons is are trade skill, then this is.

... All the other trade skills have a point within the realm. I don't see how scents is one of them.

Each of the trade skill has a point, exactly.

This skill is sold to a) for appearance (eg like perfumes and Tailoring) for defenses (eg like pheremones and Forging) c) for attacks no examples because I can't read my post that far back..

Attacks are not part of a trade skill. What you have there is a...completely different thing. Fart = not part of a trade skill.

Fart was a joke, get off it

Poisons are used for offensive, same as Fumes in this situation.

Follow scent and trace scent, then.
