[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 7175539, member: 31754"] I changed my rules again. :) They now look like this: Expertise At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. Remarkable Athlete In addition to the other benefits your speed increases by 5 feet. Reliable Talent By 15th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10. So at 3rd level the Champion is superior to the Battle Master in at least two skills. If he chooses Athletics (a good idea) he will be better at grapples and shoves. And shouldn't a Champion Fighter be better at those than a Bard or Rogue anyway? I didn't limit the Expertise to physical skills because who am I to say what your Fighter should be good at? The additional speed for Remarkable Athlete is because a "Remarkable Athlete" should be good at running AND jumping, right? Anyway. What do people think? Sound good? Not enough? Too much? [/QUOTE]
