I'm fine with any of the suggestions as long as we play a squidman.

[IronyOwl]

I'm going to say all the social skills 'cept judge of intent will boil down to diplomacy.

Unless you repost, I'm going to say that everybody in IO's quote pyramid voted for IO's alternative suggestion:

Diplomacy/Research/Grappling/Stealth/Clothesmaking(or Gastronomy in Micelus's case)

Neat.

I think I'm going to amend my suggestion to Diplomacy, Judge of Intent, Grappling, Stealth, and Clothesmaking. "Research" is a bit vague and sounds useful but I'm not so sure it would be. Clothesmaking is admittedly a bit uninspired, but we'll need to get fancy dresses and minion uniforms from somewhere, and I'm a little concerned about Gastronomy overlapping with Brewing. Not that we have a Brewer, but I mean, in theory we could at some point get one.

Speaking of which, how do magical and mundane skills interact? Would having both Bio Magic and Medicine or Knowledge: Anatomy improve anything or largely be a wasted skill slot?

Can we study new kinds of magic?

I don't see why not, but it wont be easy.

I wouldn't call a creature with clothesmaking skill and the ability to produce its own silk uninspired. That is classic genius b12 exploitiveness right there :p

In general, I will try to find uses for whatever skills the group comes up with. For the example you just gave, mundane medicine would be of use to a Biomage trying to heal a friendly undead with an organic form, or to one attempting to work with a group of mundane doctors on a big healing project. I'm sure there are other things too.

I think I'm going to amend my suggestion to Diplomacy, Judge of Intent, Grappling, Stealth, and Clothesmaking.

Noted. But unless other people change their votes, I'm going to count that quote pyramid as votes for your original suggestion, as that is what has been quoted.

Switch out Kroaken with Vinesteel, Exploerer of souls and were good. No cares on whether human or not.

+1 to this.

It's pretty late to suggest a character, but I made one just for fun anyway.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Identity:
Name: Jarnell Rapidtunnels
Magely Title: The One-Handed (Orphaned at a young age, Jarnell was forced to steal food to survive, and one day was caught. Subsequently his hand was lopped off, but instead of bleeding to death mage-monk Rapidtunnels saved Jarnell from such a grisly fate.)
Race: Goblin

Magical Skills:
Conjuration
Entropy Magic
Brewing
Tectonic Magic

Mundane Skills:
First Aid
Stealth
Animal Training (If it has to be specific, then birds)
Woodworking
Unarmed Combat

Journeymen Mages:
Torogop, The Spleen Smasher- He can back us up in combat.
Janice Bailey, Wildcaller- She sounds pontentially powerful in the long run.
Wiskers Chewnibbles, The Padded Sage- Looks like a great biomage teacher and maybe more.
Old guy, young guy, ogre guy, I think we’re good.

This suggestion game looks great already, Weirdsound.

[Weirdsound]

Anyway, I'm going to call the voting off and start tallying here. Could take a bit because some of the votes are split across posts. Hopefully can have the first turn up tomorrow or tonight.

[Prophet]

Yay! I can't wait for this to begin. 

[Shadestyle]

I just hope we aren't a boring old human. Squidmen are far superior wizards.
