Are we all just going to ignore "Hear with eyes"? Because I think it's a great skill name and should totally be implemented.

"Look" is as overpowered as listen (perhaps more) and should be associated to a branching skill tree similar to those suggested here.
Bringing it together in [Sensory Skills] would be the most efficient solution - keeping in mind the essential action groups for which rolls should be made.
Like so:
Sense
.See
..Watch
...Hear with eyes
...Watch ERP
...Guard
..Examine
...Look
....Peek
....Recognise
...Analyse
..Fashion Sense
.Audition
..Listen
...Musical Sense
..Hear
...Recognise Sarcasm
.Olfactory sense
..Smell
...Distinguish Body Odour
...Smell Treachery
..Mouthbreathe
.Taste
..Swallow
...Swallow more
..Appreciate Food
...Taste Irony
.Touch
..Fine motor skills
...Dress/Undress
...Eat
..Flip off
...Rustle/Titillate
Furthermore, I believe players should write sdescs and ldescs (of identical size) for the following situations at character generation:
-Hood On, Cloak closed [Baseline]
-Hood On, Cloak open [Special situations]
-Hood Off, Cloak closed [Tavern RP]
-Hood Off, Cloak Open [ERP]

I like emulating your voice in my mind and using it to read your posts I like to imagine that that isn't a sign of some unhealthy fixation. As for the actual thread topic, listen truly resembles 'look' in terms of 'power'. Both reveal meta information, both are used by lazy/unthinking players to regularly to break your immersion ( often instinctively, automatically), both are skills that should have much more varying degrees of mastery between classes, but don't. At this level, it isn't even a question of 'how' OP Listen is, but more a question on how and why the code environment favours twinked-out veterans on every level, not just combat. |

Don't you know that being a good roleplayer and caring about skills are two mutually exclusive things?

despite the horrible derailment of thread 1499, is listen actually op? As stated before, listen is a tool of problematic misogynist players injecting them selves into plots and ejaculating fun all over it. It's passive rape and rape is banned. So not is it only OP but it's against the rules. This is an RPI and honestly if you aren't at lest some level of an ascetic you really have no business in the community, there are plenty of avenues for "Fun" and players who are trying to add to the world should really find some other game. Armageddon is harsh and thus should be as unfun as possible for immersive reasons. While playing I often deny myself water. |

It'd make sense that characters should have different main descriptions for being naked, one for sexy time, and one for after they've been stripped down and publicly whipped by a templar.
But the first is probably a waste because most people practice "safe sex" (with their armor on and weapons wielded)

So you're saying mdescs are OP, @jenki? I could get behind that.

I am going to enter a snarky comment that barely has any relation at all to what someone else said, based on the fact that it reminds me I do certain things with everyone of my characters no matter what and well, I realize it is twinkish or bad RP and I feel I need to attack you so that I can deflect my own personal guilt I feel for basically looking in the mirror and feeling like a "bad player".
