I recently got myself a Chessex battle mat from abroad. It was the only one available that had both square and hex grid, and its size was suitable. While I am happy to have the mat, finding the right wet erase marker has been a bit of a problem because none of the suggested markers are sold at where I'm from.

Stadtler lumocolor non-permanent markers, which are the suggested wet erase markers, are the only Stadtler pens not sold here. Expo Vis-a-Vis, which is suggested on some places, are not sold either. And Crayola for some reason costs an arm and a leg if it is in stock.

But, there are Edding non-permanet pens, which are wet wipeable. And instead of Crayola, there are Carioca washable and superwashable felt tip pens and markers (with up to 50 different colors). There are also wet erase chalk markers but I think they aren't suitable for this mat since it is porous thus would leave a stain.

Does anyone have experience with Edding or Carioca pens for this type of vinyl battle mat? Some colors seems to leave stains so going for Carioca for multiple colors may not be that good of a deal. Which one would you suggest?

I (16M) have recently left my village to become an adventurer, as it is customary to send underaged kids to explore the world. Our LitRPG world have a god that gives divine blessings to everyone so even simple farmers like me have a unique skill. Technically they aren't always unique but there are a lot of skills where only one person at a time can have, like the legendary "Divine Hero's Legacy" that lets you use powers of previous heros. Its so busted!!!

Anyway, I knew I had a special skill because an oracle visiting my village when I was little gave everyone a quick future reading. She said I would become an important figure if I would become an adventurer, so I was eager to become one. Note that she did this with a divine skill, so all of her prophecies will come true even if they are worded vaguely. She was still leveling it, so thats why she was traveling villages. More use, more exp.

With that knowledge, I came to the city Adventura which has a lot of adventurers. I visited the local church to get a skill reading since they do it for free. They said I do have a one of a kind skill. However they refused to tell me what it is. And unfortunately I never used it before so it is still level 1! Normally people would use their skill even if they don't know what it is so it would be somewhere around 15-20 when they get their first reading. However being stuck at level 1 made me quiet sad and I asked if I could get a skill reroll, like the hero in "ReRoll: Becoming the best hero as I reroll my divine skill each day because of a bet I made with my childhood best friend who is also my crush that I don't need a cheat skill to become a legend shippuden" and they said it was disrespectful to ask for a reroll on such a unique skill but they would respect my choice.

They told me to come next day as they will look into something and help me with my skill. I was expecting to join a guild and form a party and go on an adventure. Instead I am laying on my bed I rented in a bunkhouse, staring at my status screen and staring at those question marks next to my divine skill stat. At that moment I really hated having this stupid skill. Why couldn't it be something simple like Divine Might or Divine Healing. I wasn't even asking for a cheat skill.

Today in the morning, I visited the church again and to my surprise head priest wanted to talk to me. With him was a representative from adventurers guild associate and an advisor of the king! So head priest said that I indeed had the unique skill "Divine Bussy" and I could become a companion to a hero's party but only 5 years later, last 3 years under church training. He said church would cover all my expenses for those 5 years but I basically need to live far away in a monastery. Associate representative said due to an island scandal no guild would hire me and adventurer parties would see me a liability, but if I come back 2 years later they can find me consistent jobs with good pay that would even train my skill. Advisor on the other hand said he can take me to the court where I can learn some court manners and after 2 years they can get a suitable candidate for me to marry? I dont get how that relates to my dilemma but apperantly there is a troublesome prince that I can help, but I would say goodbye to adventuring.

When I asked about skill reroll, they said it was possible but result would be random and I would need to slave away in random jobs at least two years to cover the expenses while getting enough exp to level that skill to be able to adventue, assuming it is suitable for adventuring. Associate representative said it was a hastle and a gamble while head priest said I should cherrish the blessing I got. I think king's advisor was fine either way, "less trouble at court" he said but he comes of as someone not liking adventurers at all.

They again gave me some time to think. I still want that skill reroll because I think this skill is not worth the trouble. Why the 2 year wait when I am already levels behind other adventurers? AITA here for trying to get rid of it? And they still haven't told me what my skill does!
