If you allow everyone to fill their ranks in the most important skills, you may as well replace skill check with trained/untrained values (trained: use character level as a bonus to roll, untrained: no level bonus to roll). So, your character will look like this: max ranks for all important skills, some points assigned to random skills. Every Rogue will be a stealth master and so on. This is not good, as it produces virtually identical characters.Of course. Just don't overdo this or all your experienced characters will be very similar to each other.  Umm. Haven't you asked for feedback while pleading lack of knowledge of the subject? Do try the skill system before judging it. We have switched to the system quite a few months ago and haven't considered changing it as it proved superior to 3.5 skill system.Reiterating changes:1. Several skills were rolled together to balance skill importance against each other.2. There is no partial ranks and no cross-class skills anymore.3. Class skill checks benefit from +3 bonus.Here is the PFRPG list of skills:Acrobatics  Appraise Bluf Climb Craft Diplomacy Disable Device Disguise Escape Artist Fly <-- this skill has been decreed as uselessHandle Animal Heal Intimidate Knowledge (arcana) Knowledge (dungeoneering) Knowledge (engineering) Knowledge (geography) Knowledge (history) Knowledge (local) Knowledge (nature) Knowledge (nobility) Knowledge (planes) Knowledge (religion) Linguistics Perception Perform Profession Ride Sense Motive Sleight of Hand Spellcraft Stealth Survival Swim Use Magic Device Old skills --> New skills:Balance  -->  AcrobaticsConcentration  -->  SpellcratDecipher Script  -->  LinguisticsForgery  -->  LinguisticsGather Information  -->  DiplomacyHide  -->  StealthJump  -->  AcrobaticsListen  -->  PerceptionMove Silently  -->  StealthOpen Lock  -->  Disable DeviceSearch  -->  PerceptionSpeak Languages  -->  LinguisticsSpot  -->  PerceptionTumble  -->  AcrobaticsUse Rope  —  Regards,Ruemere</blockquote>
