[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4530305, member: 23977"] Shrug? If you preffer 3.5 play 3.5... Play what you like man. I'm not going to argue 4e is the system you should use. Yeah that's an issue with a minimized skill system. I happen to like it, but I can see where others might not. I like more streamlined systems because I feel it allows me to add complexity when wanted/needed, instead of having to deal with it being there when I don't. And if I don't want it, there's a system that works in place. I think again you can do some customization there too with feats. Maybe a feat that lets you "specialize" in a number of different areas... Like take this feat to get a +5 total bonus that you can break up into a number of different "parts." like a +1 to picking locks, a +2 to disarming traps, and a +2to picking pockets... I'm houseruling again, but I find that 4e lets me do so a lot more easily without messing up the systems clockwork. You could- I wasn't saying my ideas were the official ideas. It just seems to me to be the way 4e was designed. With skills being the simple yes/no type stuff, and more complicated things, like craft being done by modifying the simple skill system through feats.
