I ended up changing deities to Oghma, and since his weapon is a longsword, I won't bother trying to gain any type of proficiency there.
Perfect! I looked at the Craft and Profession lists and went with Profession (Brewer). Which means that I can always bring the party round the family home for a drinkI'll add a Craft or Profession skill and take a few skill points. You'll need them, 'cause Knowledge skills are a lot, but if you want flavor, those skills are perfect (reminds me of a certain ship-builder barbarian... )
Thanks for all your tips
