Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Farming and Gardening
If you ever make a Classical Hero, e.g. Odysseus or Achilles, they should have a point or two in farming. Heroes were farmers inasmuch as they owned land and directed slaves to make the land productive. There's a whole chapter of the Iliad that's about the image on the shield Hephaestus builds for Achilles; the images worked into the gold are of farmland and vineyards.
Don Quixote also talks about wanting to retire from knight-errantry and take up farming, but I can't recall he ever shows any competence at it.
