But I would only allow skill ranks gained from levels of assassin or after the PrC is completed to count towards this total.I would allow this because both Heal and Knowledge (anatomy) are cross-class skills for the Assassin, and 10 ranks (5 in either skill) represents a 20 skill point investment; a heafty sacrifice.I would not allow ranks in those skills gained from other classes to count on the flavor basis that while a cleric may learn anatomy to heal, the assassin will study a specific curriculum for harming. There will be similarities, but enough of a difference for me to enforce it.That hefty skill-point sacrifice will mechanically balance the assassin's synergy bonuses to the DC.The DC is: DC 10 + the assassin’s class level + the assassin’s Int modifierThe only other ways of increasing the DC I know of are Ability Focus, which will add 2 to the DC, increasing the assassin's Int, and a magic item or two that might do the same. I don't think a total +2 synergy bonus from two skills is out of line.---Shadow Assassin, You weren't wrong for posting in the General Discussion forum, but there are forums for specific topics; The <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=30&f=45" target="_blank">House Rules</a> forum is good for discussion on how to change the game the way you like it; the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=30&f=3" target="_blank">Rules</a> forum is good for sounding out the mechanics of the game as they are written; the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forumdisplay.php?f=108" target="_blank">Off Topic</a> forum is good for hanging out with other posters and talking about things other than D&D; and the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=30&f=35" target="_blank">Meta</a> forum is a great place to learn more about how ENWorld works.Happy posting!</blockquote>
