[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 5119627, member: 4722"] More specialization into fewer things? True. But then, isn't a common complaint about D&D how the PCs can routinely accomplish things that are superhuman by L10? (Note: This wasn't something I thought of until after I finished writing the rules, but it does address this point rather nicely.) A minor point. It's similar to a level gap, really - you gain lots of XP at first, sure, but once you catch up, the XP slope flattens out. That was assumed, but not stated - any SXP you gain apply to the appropriate skill only; it's not a pool. Not much moreso than now, IMO. I played a few sessions with a group recently, before I dropped out; we had a rogue who, at L9, could pull down 35-40 with perception and stealth skills consistently, while the rest of us had 15-20.
