Out of curiosity, why does this skill only help you learn how to -untie- your victims quicker? For me, I always thought that this skill might work better if it worked similar to spellcraft; helping you not only get better at untieing, but also tieing up your foes as well.

Especially since you really don't need numble fingers to untie someone, with all the bladed weapons that people carry untieing should be easy, but tieing someone up in the heat of the moment, that might take a nimble set of fingers.

Thoughts?

It doesn't.

It does.

Not sure why you think this is true.

If it does more than that, which is awesome and thanks for the response, then perhaps an update to the helpfile?
