The Chosen Ones

So, you don't like mining... How about hunting?

My idea is Lockpicking i.e the ability to unlock various locked chests scattered across the campaign. The profession goes like this: When you encounter a locked chest, you can use this 'Lockpicking' skill to try and pick it. If you successfully crack the chest, the item(s) inside will be yours. The chance to lockpick is %-based and can only be improved by buying better lockpicking tools (similiar to Bronze Shovel, Silver Shovel, ...). When you fail to open a chest, the lockpicking tool will be broken and require you to fix it, which cost a variable amount of gold (that raises depend on the tier of the lockpicking tool) and you have to wait 60 secs until it can be used again. The more powerful the item(s) inside, the smaller the chance to unlock the chest.

I wonder if it is possible, but maybe we can have a profession of skinning. After killing a creep, one can quickly skin it using a knife (smthing like shovel too) to get different types of cloth, from wool to linen to leather etc. These materials are then needed to craft certain items in the game. Of course, I think one can only skin from normal creeps and not any minibosses, bosses, elite or epic bosses, nor summons or creeps that respawn.

Oh this links to my next idea, not a profession, but a new class of items. Currently, our items are stored in our inventory, up to 6 items. I wonder if we can have an item system to customise what our heroes can wear, from hats, armours to earrings, belts etc. Then, there can be specific clothing items each hero can wear, which are obtainable from shops, monsters, crafting (especailly from skinning)etc. Each hero can wear one belt, one armour, two earrings etc. These items can provide further bonuses and passive skills for each hero and allow us to customise how each hero looks. However, these items shouldnt have active skills or it will be too OP. What do you think?

This is possible but it would require a ridiculous amount of work to obtain all the models. And trust me attaching additional garments on a W3 model is a bad choice. The textures won't merge at all, unlike other games.
