I wouldn't mind a situation where, if you have, for example, toolcrafting skill, you could inspect a tool and get a message like, "This tool is well crafted and sturdy, and will last a decent time without deteriating[sp?] too much, It is not well suited as a weapon." or "This tool is well crafted but is flimsy and will not last very long, It is more suited to be a weapon." etc.
No stats or anything, just giving a little more info to someone who has the skills, which could add a bit more depth to crafting and trading. Possibly giving info on what it was made out of, how much longer[ballpark] it will last, maybe even showing how much it has been used?
Not something urgently needed, just something that, for me, would be a nice little addition at some point
That's what I think the key is. The emphasis isn't the stats on the crafted item being used, but the stats on the person using the crafted item.
This is a suggestion I gave to a different thread about descriptions.
"I would be all for descriptions, if they made them table-top RPG style with observations based on skill set/attributes. For example a fishing rod found by someone with no fishing skills would read:
This item appears to be a wooden rod of some sort, most likely a tool<toolcrafting>, it is made of an unknown wood <logging> and has some string and a hook attached to it. Based on your observations of the item (Intelligence), it would appear the item is a tool used for fishing.
And of course if you had a high fishing skill it would simply read:
This is your standard oak fishing rod, good for catching trout and smaller fish (fishing), etc. etc.
This I think would be very helpful, without actually giving away much more then most people could surmise with just common sense."
