[QUOTE="Psychic Warrior, post: 2800853, member: 17733"] How about a revision to giving each class a number of class skills equal to twice thier skill points/level? Going with the +2 skill points/level house rule (which seems so common it should count as errata) it would look something like this The following skills are exclusive to these classes Appraise – Bards & Rogues Disable Device – Rogues & Scouts Forgery – Rogues, Bards & Wizards Gather Information – Bards & Rogues Open Lock – Rogues Spell-craft – Bards, Clerics, Druids, Sorcerers & Wizards Use Magic Device – Bards & Rogues While other classes can get ranks in these skills they can never be class skills for any classes but those listed. The following classes may choose these number & type of class skills when first created. Physical Skills are those based off of Strength, Dexterity or Constitution Mental Skills are those based off of Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma Barbarian: 8 physical & 4 mental / 6 skill points/level Bard: 6 physical & 8 mental / 8 skill points/level Cleric: 2 physical & 6 mental / 4 skill points/level one mental skill must be Knowledge (religion) Druid: 4 physical & 8 mental / 6 skill points/level one mental skill must be Knowledge (nature) Fighter: 6 physical & 2 mental / 4 skill points/level Monk: 7 physical & 5 mental / 6 skill points/level Paladin: 3 physical & 5 mental / 4 skill points/level Rogue: 10 physical & 10 mental / 10 skill points/level Scout: 10 physical & 10 mental / 10 skill points/level Sorcerer: 2 physical & 6 mental / 4 skill points/level Spirit Shaman: 4 physical & 8 mental / 6 skill points/level one mental skill must be Survival Swashbuckler: 7 physical & 5 mental / 6 skill points/level Warlock: 2 physical & 6 mental / 4 skill points/level one mental skill must be Knowledge (the planes) Warmage: 3 physical & 5 mental / 4 skill points/level one mental skill must be Knowledge (arcane) Wizard: 2 physical & 10 mental / 4 skill points/level one mental skill must be Knowledge (arcane) and one must be Spell-craft I give the Wizard a slight boost here due to the quanitity of Knowledge skills and the fact that he should be able to learn near all of them. A high Int (18+) character in say, fighter, does run the risk of having more skill points than class skills but they'll just have to cope (not that I have ever seen anything like that happen).
