Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Panhandling
This has shown up on one character in my files, and I don't think it ever got rolled.
I can see it being possibly relevant in the upcoming low-power monster hunting campaign, but mostly to convince NPCs that a PC who's standing around keeping a lookout is just a harmless beggar whom they don't need to notice - in effect as a variant of Stealth/Disguise for blending in to an urban setting.
This skill seems to me to represent a combination of a specialised Influence skill (you can only use it to get money out of people) with Savoir-Faire (Beggar). But it's already Easy and largely unused IME, so splitting it up further wouldn't make it more popular.
