No I didn't (but I mentioned it because it served as a good example of the generality of the 3e skill system).You missed where I said this is one skill that they probably mind going away.
Nitpick: that's an incorrect use of Bluff. A Bluff is a short-duration lie ("these aren't the the droids you're looking for" minus the Force). Ingratiation is Diplomacy.I might actually use bluff if the confidence man is not sincere.
The problem with a big list of more specialized skills is that the whole skill system loses utility (unless you start handing out a lot more skill points). You end up with a group of skill specialists sidelined until there particular area of knowledge comes into play.First, we introduced new some skills and/or treated some skills like Perform or Knoweldge in that you chose a specialty. Second, the consolidation in 3e is not nearly to the degree of 4e.
For example: Knowledge: history made seem absurdly broad... but Knowledge: history (of a particular region and era) is basically useless unless the whole campaign is based around there/then.
