If I have a character who has a high dex but a low int, I will probably take proficiency in a bunch of dex skills but not int skills, which just pushes me further into extremes. This has a negative effect on the game where a DM might set a high DC so the warlock with +9 persuasion gets a reasonable challenge, but now all the other characters feel like talking is pointless.I also don't really see what it adds. If I want to play a knowledgeable character, I can just give him a high int. Do I really need to be proficient in Arcana, History, or Nature to feel like my character is learned?</blockquote>
