I was out hunting with my tailor-cook. Mostly hunting for leather but a couple ribs and birds to cook are always welcome. I was killing everything in site and off'ed a pig. Two ribs from its carved up corpse. And I thought, "Hey wouldn't it be nice, since this character is a cook, if I could get a roasted pig or an unroasted pig that I would be able to cook." Then I thought hmm wouldn't be nice if when a cook kills a deer if I had a chance to get meat listed as venison or if when I killed a rabbit I had a chance for hassenpfeffer (sp?) or meat that said uncooked rabbit that I can make into hassenpfeffer by adding carrots and such. My imagination started running wild with dragon steaks and kraken sushi and roasted harpy.
Granted, this change would be fluff. No game balance issues, no extra bonus if you dined on venison vs. cut of ribs. It would add to roleplay and house deco and thats about it. I am not suggesting a cook of a certain skill could get a skinned goat like the doom deco artie or anything. And honsetly I do think cooks have quite a large variety of things they can make already so I wouldn't want to divert resources from bug fixes or something. I just thought I'd share my wishes for cooks to have a chance for special resources or new foods if they are the ones butchering the body. Come to think of it, shouldn't someone with cooking have a chance of gathering more of whatever food the animal carcass supplies? Just a thought.
