Does 3.5 have restricted skills anymore?Well not exactly -- I am going to tweak this a bit so that a few skills are restricted. I am stillusing Scry FREX and neither it nor Alchemy or Arcane Lore are suitable as hobby type skills in most games Quote:Each Character will have a background. This background will grant 3-5 skills as class skills or a +1 Bonus to the skill if its already a class skill. A fewBackgrounds -- Seafolk, Fuedal Peasant Farmer, Manor Born, Northlander Raider etc  I know handing out background based class skills is all the rage since d20 Modern but I don't like it. IMC, each character starts with (4+int)*3 skill points in background skills and then multiclass into first level (i.e. they don't get *4 skill points for first level). This way a background stays a background. A street urchin who is now a wizard will have some theiving skills, but not as much as a street urchin who is now a rogue. <a href="http://jtjaguar.home.texas.net/0thlevel.html" target="_blank">http://jtjaguar.home.texas.net/0thlevel.html</a>Thats really neat! I may look into that Quote:To compensate for the reduced magic characters will have extra feats and a level based Defence Bonus (not listed here) Feats in these games will be gained at 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19  Common but, again, not something I like.YMMV its for lower magic games anyway -- Quote:Fighter -- There are a large number of fighter special "training" abilities available only to folks who take levels in fighter. All fighters gain a bonus feat at level 11 as well.  I increased the length of many of the fighter feat chains instead (Roaving Whirlwind, Cleaving Charge etc). What's with the feat at 11th?I just though that 11th level needed a little UMPh -- the extra attack is at +1 BAB and is a yawner. I like the idea of something special at every level but I haven't figured out how to do that to my satisfaction I am going to up the feat chains too but I think more than a few high level feats should be fighter only Quote:Exotic WP with the the Bastard Sword also grants 2h profieciency, proficency with a training sword (as club-- like a RL Bokken) and practice blade (like a RL Shinai doing 1d4 subdual) all feats and special abilities with the Bastard Sword apply to these weapons also.  I just made one feat called Heavy Weapon Proficiency, that lets the character use all 1 1/2 hand weapons in one hand.Vey AU (Arcana Unearthed) and a good idea tooAaron</blockquote>
