[QUOTE="Jondor_Battlehammer, post: 3455315, member: 5335"] I could see this as another dump stat issue. If you have a poor Dex, why bother trainning anything Dex related when even at a D4 you would have a poor chance to do anything? It would be more in line with 3.x to have a skill check rolled on a D4 untrained, and bump up the dice, capping at D20.
