Yeah, you’re pretty outclassed there, respectively, 17, 15, 14, 7 and 10.

They aren’t the figures of my best character, I think I had insane stats on him [although he’s dead now.] That’s just the standard stats [in my opinion] required to cataclysm.

_Gives certificate of honor that you can cataclysm._

As for the can of beans GIMMMMIIIIEEE NAAAOOOO I am so hungry IRL right now and my car is frickin low as hell on petrol. Time to attempt cooking, I’ll probably die of salmonella as all I have right now is some raw chicken breasts and a little bread and other crap.

Since this is tips tricks and other noob questions, I’ll help you with cooking the chicken. Cut it in half, this makes it cook quicker. If you’re afraid of undercooking a meal, put it on a lower temperature and cook it for longer, that way the heat has longer to cook the inside before the outside burns. In an emergency, cut the chicken so the undercooked section is exposed and microwave it for 10-30 seconds. BAM. PROBLEMS SOLVED.

Do profession skill bonuses apply a flat increase to a skill or do you need to at least have a point in the skill to get the +1(2,3,4 etc)

</div>

Profession bonuses are additive to whatever skills you select. So, if you put 1 point into first aid (which translates to +2 first aid) and you pick a profession with +4 first aid, you will start with +6 first aid.
