I also need suggestions for Bad Skills and bad skill synergies. these will serve as cautionary tales and help flesh out the world and system. a side character might eventually have a particulary amusing combo.

off the cuff example, a cooking skill mixes with a fire starting skill and now you can't not burn your food.

Bad skills would generally be highly situational or impractical, not actively bad.

A disgruntled nondescript squirrel

Here are soe I thought of that are more reflective of actions they performed or caused. They're more of passives traits really, but they could level with skills. More than four hours(A painful priapism that costs bend to reduce )Stuck that way(Facial features resist changing) Odur (Causes people of the oposite sex to stalk you) Herbivore(Causes apathy and fear of relationships)

Seadrake

Resistance skills nullifying most alchol.

Calvan summing could have been one, he could only duplicate what he had eaten.

Westeller

Meditation's Disconnect could lead to unexpectedly long meditation sessions... Say... five years.... or more... Complete loss of a sense of time could have some very bad consequences. Sure, it worked for Elliot because he was literally locked in a cell for god only knows how long. But what if people tried to meditate in their regular lives and basically didn't wake up without outside interference? And the description says you disconnect from your "senses". Well, heck, hunger is a sense, too. Disconnecting from your sense of hunger seems like a wonderful way to starve to death. Elliot clearly had a lot going in his favor to even survive his meditation session. A regular person would kill themselves with meditation.

Enaz the great

Increased senses ( sensitive nose and ears makes it seem like everybody is smelly and is shouting all the time. As well as increased sense of pain

LordDark

Taunt: more likely to be the target of agression in all circumstances.

Gavriel

Cloak of shadows (shadows darken your outline and obscure your features) and invisibility, lol you would be an invisible man covered in darkness that both nullifies your invisibility, and makes people think you are evil...

Gavriel

Banshees howl, and enhanced hearing, you are more vulnerable to your own attack than anyone else...

Gavriel

Line of sight fireball, and you blink...

LordDark

Black cloud of sorrow: only available to those under the age of five when they break (basically town is murdered in front of them). When upset at all a storm is summoned that involves hail, lightning and tornadoes destroying everything their anger is directed at. Also explains why few people break early. Child survivors would be mostly killed on site by everyone.

LordDark

Warp Well: generate 10,000% more bent per day also turns you into a mindless black site.

LordDark

Bottomless stomach: eat as much as you want without getting fat! Side effects: a literal hole in your stomach. Probable starving to death.

rwn

Aeromancy synergized with fishing: all the air used for aeromancy ends up smelling like fish. Upside: Sharknado, someday.

How about a spin on that, bottomless stomach where you can eat as much as you want without gaining weight, but mixing with a skill that gets more powerful the more you weighed

Anonymous

Half-assed: everyday things you do are 50% less effective, but 50% flashier. Chore-ior: all household tasks and daily chores are 50% more effective, but you look to be in a life or death battle while doing them. Parents and guardians use this combo to scare kids away from being lazy while doing chores, or just being lazy in general.

LittleWhite

A skill that increases acid damage but this also increases effectiveness of stomach acid without increasing acid resistance. You get the picture

rwn

I can see people with bad habits accidentally getting skills associated with those habits - for instance, an inveterate nose picker could get a Nose Picking skill, with perks like "Minin' for Gold" (a small chance to extract solid gold boogeys). This could get kinda dark for people who are in to self-harm though.

Karolus

Are you asking for anti-synergy skills? Or are you asking about skill synergies that do bad things.

Karolus

For the first: a breserk skill + a battle meditation skill, combined they prevent bent regeneration except in combat

Karolus

For the second: an iron stomach skill + a bent stealing skill, become a bent vampire that must feed on other to regenerate bent and survive

Tommy Littlefield

Skill magnetic (magnetic metal you touch gets turned into a magnet enhancement at level 5 all magnetized metal touching other metal spreads the magnetic effects to it) and iron skin seems great until everyone in metal armor is sucked to you and makes a several thousand pound pile of steel and flesh with you being crushed and suffocated to death at the bottom

Anonymous

A skill that increases stats when the moon is up and something similar for when the sun is up synergizing to make it so that the benefits only apply when both are up.

Obran

Talking to girls and magnetisms (or maybe something with pheremones) Become utterly irresistible to all females. So much so that 93 year old grannies will abandon their walkers to come chat you up. Everywhere you go every woman stops what they are doing to come over to swoon. Cat Fights spontaneously break out, jealous husbands plot your death, low will powered ladies follow you through the streets naked, and every girl who imagines you’ve spurned them becomes a stalker.

Rincewind314

A smith that gets a hammer skill to rend armor or to damage weapons.
