Skill Monkey: Adjective

II. Member of a group who prides him or herself on their proficiency with non-combat related abilities.
III. Character with too many skills, creating an imbalance in gameplay.
Origin: From Dungeons and Dragons, originally referring to the Thief (or Rogue, in later editions).

Synonyms: Skill Whore
