Message: <blockquote data-quote="abirdcall" data-source="post: 6737075" data-attributes="member: 6748898">I like what 5e did with skills and feats. It's time for me to go a bit further and eliminate the 'use ropes' of 5e.Please give me feedback, I am still thinking this through and have probably missed some glaring problems.Skills:Animal Handling - Remove it. Survival is enough. Maybe a bit of Nature for remembering how to deal with weird beastsMedicine - Remove it. All medicine related checks to be covered by a Nature check. Nature encompasses knowledge about biology, botany, meteorology, etc. It is the natural philosophy or science lore.Performance - Now grants proficiency in all musical instruments. A performance check was either an instrument check or a persuasion check anyway. The Bard extra tool proficiencies now give proficiency in Performance instead.History/Religion - Meld these together. One informs the other anyway.Tools:Herbalism Kit - Now doubles as a poisoner's kit.Gaming Set - Encompasses all games.Feats:Dual Wielder - Allow all characters to draw or stow 2 weapons at once if they want.GWM - Allow anyone to Cleave - It still uses the bonus actionWar Caster - Give Eldritch Knights the ability to perform somatic components with hands occupied by weapons/shield.Anything else you would change?Problems with what I have changed?To be clear lores are now:Arcana - All things magic and arcaneNature - Science of the natural world including medicineHistory - Includes religionI thought about consolidating deception/intimidation/persuasion but I don't think it is necessary. Each one can be useful and informs how the character is played. Intimidation is a bit like a narrow persuasion but I feel like it is strong enough to remain. Just pick 1 or the other.</blockquote>
