Hellion

On the advice of people who responded to my last blog, I have made some additions to how OOBS can be acquired and boosted.

There is a new NPC named Higgins Obsmeister in the basement of the school. He is an aging treasure hunter who is a bit daft, but earnest. He will teach you 4 things:

1. Increases available Ability Points by 2 for a price (starting at 2500 gold, and doubling each time it is done)
2. Trains you in your weakest skill (+15 bonus!) after you reach a certain depth in the Pit (floor 8+)
3. Trains you in your cross-class skills (+5 bonus) after you reach a certain level (15+)
4. Trains you in 5 skills ONE TIME ONLY (skills depending on if you are good or evil) with a bonus equal to YOUR_LEVEL / 3 + 1

"Good" Skills:
-Disarm Traps
-Bash
-Decipher
-Stamina
-Detection

"Evil" Skills:
-Lockpick
-Hide
-Pickpocket
-Persuade
-Forage


Certain Hirelings now also give a boost to OOBS, as follows

Cristo --- Healer --- N/A
Lars --- Brute --- Bash +8
Jet Solo --- Thief --- Lockpick +5, Disarm +5, Hide +5, Pickpocket +5
Mara --- Mage --- Decipher +10
Sylar --- Pyromancer --- N/A
Julliet --- Illusionist --- Detection +9
Allanon --- Druid --- Forage +3
Thom --- Bard --- Persuade +7
Birgette --- Warrior --- N/A
Chow-Yun --- Monk --- N/A


I will be doing a new quest with an OOBS reward (like the Signpost quest). I just have to make another quest later on in the Pit.

The numbers and costs haven't really been tested yet, so they are open to change.
