Intended to be a discussion to foster creativity and eventually implantation by GMs and powers that be.

Ghillie suit/overwhites making- increases stalking and hiding ranks/skill for environ for which it was crafted (overwhites for snow, forest ghillie for wooded areas, grass ghillie for grasslands, etc). Would increase encumbrance, possibly RT.

Salves - ability to (relatively quickly) create
salves from certain herbs. Think Talneo salve from talneo root. Can apply to self, animal companion and dead folks. Perhaps has a longer RT than potions to apply?

Whittling - fluff skill to master. Create “crudely” to “masterfully” hand carved <wood type> <object>

Foraging for actual wood types- maoral, yew, fel, etc that can be whittled or turned into...

Bow making- using the whittling and foraging skills to make a bow!

Campfire- make a campfire that acts similar to a sanctuary and scares off creatures to allow for raising, healing, recovery in the wilds. But beware! Campfires at night can attract certain warmongering creatures such as orcs, trolls, Grimswarm, or bandits! Uses campfire skill + survival ranks +??

Hide site-temporarily stash loot in the wilds to reduce time in town! Dig a hole, stash under a tree stump! High perception may allow others to see signs and search for your loot. Perhaps tie this skill+survival to formula for difficulty to search for it.

I like the idea of guild skills but its been said year after year forever there will be no new guild skills for any guild that doesn't have any. That said I'm all for pushing the idea until a GM says yes. Side note, the idea of learning languages has been brought up as an ascension idea so dont think they will do the same for a guild skill.

I stopped asking for guild stuff for rangers years ago. Personally, I don't think it will ever happen, there's just not enough of a driving force in the game, unless of course they could tie some pay events into it.
