Skills: Work Stations
by HåvardThis thread is related to the Revised General Skills thread, but since we're not finished discussing the concepts introduced there I thought it might be better to start a new thread here.
The concept of "work stations" is borrowed from a certain video game, but it makes sense to link them to skills. Some, such as Wizard's labs and libraries already exist. I have included prices in case PCs should wish to install one in their home.
