[QUOTE="Lurker 2.0, post: 1821232, member: 24976"] Well, as much as I may argue against changing the fighter's class skills, I ran into a dilemma in my game (which features a lot of "one 10th level guy vs 100 1 HD gobs") where I thought, "Hey, shouldn't a fighter-jockey have some idea what they're doing here?" Hence, House Rule: Tactics check. Int+BAB, usable 1/combat, DC 15 to notice important terrain features, DC 20 to notice enemy objectives, DC 25 to find (tactical) enemy weaknesses (I wouldn't let this be a substitute for Knowledges; it won't tell you that you need a holy weapon to strike devils, but it will tell you that, for example, the ogre lines are unsteady and punching through at one point will disturb their formation). No ranks needed; anyone who can swing sword, mace, or spear knows how to best direct it; I'm considering a +2 or higher bonus for Fighters though, since they are a bit more battlefield-suited than the other warrior classes (except the MH's Marshal, who rocks, btw.)
