Comments:
Nothing seems to escape Stefan's notice. Always watching and aware, while being a perfectly polite and sociable host. True grace.
I've adjusted your House Management skill to Logistics (Domestic) to better reflect the skill guide (Logistics is approved as a skill, House Management is not). This is solely a change in name alone, as they are the same thing functionally. Please adjust your Character Sheet accordingly.
