Let alone light a fire without any modern aids...

Rgds, Ulath
PS. This comparison was made just to point out that indeed, even such basic
skills require a bit of experience and learning. They are not instincts which
you get 'for free'.
Puuh. Finally someone used their brain.
And for Reckedien, are perhaps claiming that a newborn baby isn't a human?
Claiming all humans know how to light a fire would mean also a baby knows how.
Well, if you want to get THAT absurdly technical, then a few points should be
expressed in addition:

1) Babies of humans, are indeed humans themselves, I agree
!N
2) Every Human has the ability to LEARN how to light a fire, which would be
akin to say... putting experience you gain from life into a skill, such as
fire building... Which I do believe I stated in my previous post.
!N
3)What character here, upon creation or reinc or rebirth, starts as a BABY?
If that were so, there would be forced idling for several weeks play time, I
would imagine, as you grew up.
4) Lastly, my original point was that an argument was made citing babies as an
example, which was never part of the original statement by the orignial
poster.

Solution: Give some basic fire building % to explorers guild, which seems to
me to contain a lot of wilderness survival stuff. Then yes, everyone would
have the ability to learn to build a fire (yay realism!), whether or not they
want to waste some free levels to do so is up to them :P

I'm pretty sure they do (25%), even if the website hasn't be updated in ages.
