Background Skills
Would be effective immediately for all new characters.
Current characters must change too, and would get a free redo of skills.
Must be between adventures, or current GM must approve if within a game.
Explanation:
There are lots of crappy skills that no one takes. (Appraise, Craft, some Knowledges, Profession, etc.)
This shuffles them off to a new set called Background Skills. The 'good' skills are called Adventuring Skills. There are two new kinds of skills too:
Artistry - Kind of like craft, INT-based.
Lore - Like the knowledge skills, but in a more focused, specific area of expertise, INT-based.
Craft, Perform, and Profession, get more uses too, but that doesn't really effect LPF too much.
Adventuring Skills: Still calculated in the same way.
Background Skills: Every character gets 2 skill points per level to spend on Background Skills.
This let's characters flesh out their backgrounds a bit more without sacrificing their good skills. Everyone gets to have more fluffy goodness.
They are easy to calculate, don't really add power to a character (except maybe bards, who like perform), and above all are fun!
