[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 8421912, member: 710"] I think overall prefer less skills, though would still like it if there was a way to specialize (or anti-specialize) further when needed. Too many skills can cause you miss something that would be important to a character concept. But as others pointed out - sometimes you might want to declare that your athletic character can't actually swim, or that you're really a specialist on Nerathi history or really good at shadowing people. So having a way to express that would be cool. So maybe skills should come with specialties. After you picked your skills, you may pick two specialties from your skills that you have a focus on. If you wish, you can gain focus in a third speciality, but you must also take a shortcoming for one speciality. Trained in a skill: Proficiency Bonus. Knack in a speciality: If you roll for the speciality and the die comes up 10 or less, you may reroll the check and pick the better roll. Shortcoming in a speciality: If you roll for the speciality and the die comes up 10 or more, you must reroll the die and pick the worse roll. [/QUOTE]
