But I agree that it’s pretty limited. Burning a feat on Skilled feels like a waste of a resource that’s already too limited.In 3.5, you could grow your skill ranks at each level, and either keep honing the same skills further, or branch into new ones.That too was the way you want it, in 3.5… skill ranks gained from levels far outweighed the bonuses coming from abilities.So I am really puzzled by the opening statement <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😅" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f605.png" title="Grinning face with sweat    :sweat_smile:" data-shortname=":sweat_smile:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> … do you mean that 5e is more elegant simply by virtue of containing fewer skills than 3.5? … even though 3.5 had the characteristics you’re actually looking for <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😄" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f604.png" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes    :smile:" data-shortname=":smile:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> ?</blockquote>
