[QUOTE="General Starlight, post: 107416, member: 3653"] [b]Cross Class Skills[/b] Apparently, several regulars here have been kind enough to make note of my work. Thanks :D While I do try to give all rules the respect of the written word they deserve, ultimately, I feel some need to be altered to suit my tastes and personal preferences toward logical consistency, common sense, and realism. So while I realize greater realism isn't always the point, and never make the mistake of thinking greater realism always leads to a greater game, I often feel the games are better when such realistic considerations can be brought to bear with minimal fuss. The cross class skill system in 3e, I felt, no longer made as much sense as it did in 2e where classes were more rigidly fixed and class balance was a larger issue. But to go on at length about that here would be prohibitive. If interested in my thinking on this matter, and I hope you are, here are some relevant URLs.

So if you ever drop by to peruse my site, I thank you kindly. Jim.:cool: [/QUOTE]
