Trait question

[Randomdonkey]

So I don't know if this is the right place but I started a fighter and chose "Rough and Ready" as one of his traits which allows me to use a tool from a profession or craft skill I have 1 rank in as an improvised weapon without penalty and with a +1 bonus as well. I'm just wondering what would be considered tools for profession soldier?

[mjb235]

MRE's?

Shovel, canteen, sturdy boot, mess kit?

[SlimGauge]

Drill Manual ?

[Randomdonkey]

Thanks for the advice.

[blackbloodtroll]

Is Profession:Rock Farmer a choice?

[Kodger]

Armorer or blacksmith both use heavy hammers. Farriers had hammers to shoe horses and sometimes carried large axes to put down injured horses.

thanks,

Kodger

Hard tack as a thrown weapon.

[Vicon]

To be fun, how about a Torch? (Soldiers often need sentries who carry light about, this would make you a talented burner of folks!)

A shovel is a great choice, gritty and true-to-life... entrenching tools were very often improvised weapons both world wars.

Or if you were TWF, you could count your scabbard as a tool, slashing with a blade and smacking people with a weighted scabbard.

Soldiers often carry rope to scale obstacles or tie/secure/drag stuff... so if you weaponized rope it could be a trip weapon if your GM approved, or have whip-like traits.

[Illeist]

Profession (Butcher) for cleavers and mallets. Or Profession (Hatter) for vats of mercury.

[Ninja in the Rye]

For a solider, how about his helmet?

[Icyshadow]

I'd probably pick a shovel for that Soldier profession.

So, here are some objects that I am unsure what Profession/Craft they relate to:

1) Rocks.

2) Arrows.

3) Rope.

4) Umbrella.

5) Corpse.

Lol, Profession (Undertaker) for the win!

1) Profession(Quarryman) or Profession(Convict Hard Labor)

3) Profession(Trick Rope Specialist) or Perform(Rope Tricks) or Perform(Shibari)
4) Profession(Mary Poppins)

[blackbloodtroll]

Unfortunately, Perform is not covered by Rough and Ready.

Only Profession and Craft.

4) Lady in Waiting
5) Undertaker

I'd say anything in the Fighter's Kit would be fair game:

[blahpers]

1. Miner. Geologist. Paleo-*. Jeweler. Smith. Metallurgist. Alchemist. Soldier or Guard (rocks are a common battlement weapon).
2. Fletcher. Bowyer. Soldier. Pretty much any martial profession.
3. Sailor. Engineer. Mason. Carpenter. Soldier (again).
4. Courtesan. Aristocrat. Umbrella-maker? (Maybe a general Artisan profession.)
5. Mortician. Gravedigger. Physician (ha!). Necromancer (in the strict sense).

[Bizbag]

I'd probably vote Shovel for a soldier. The Tool that Conquered the World, indeed. Also, role players will appreciate the reference to "shovel heads"

[blackbloodtroll]

What about:

a Grappling Hook,

a Crowbar,

or Portable Ram?

Profession: Physicist.

[blahpers]

Grappling Hook: I don't know if "Sherpa" is a profession.... So I'll go with Soldier yet again, and possibly Engineer.
Crowbar: Engineer.
Portable Ram: Oh come on.

[mdt]

Uhm, Grappling Hook & Crowbar? Seriously, you guys are going with engineer and physicist?

How about Profession (burglar) for the win?

[Bizbag]

Because Gordon Freeman, really.

Profession (Gardener/Landscaper) is great for this trait. Flip through the catalog from a hardvare store: Everything bigger than a dagger that's at all wieldable is a gardening tool, basically.

[Apocryphile]

One of my fellow players has a PC with the Profession (Courtesan).

The mind boggles as to what tools she'd use for the Rough & Ready trait!!

Everything with a handle becomes deadly in your hands.

"Fear my posthole-digger... OF DOOOOOM!"
"I always keep a trowel ready for trench warfare."
"Ahh, but this is a masterwork rake."

I keep meaning to port this over to PF.
