[QUOTE="pastshelfdate, post: 6092879, member: 52973"] [b]Trying for flexibility without breaking the game[/b] There are elements of the big, standard d20 class system that may help control that. Fighters get rather few skill points, so they could never have as much stealth as a rogue, without severely weakening the character in all other aspects of being a fighter. Likewise, rogues get fewer feats and would have the same problem, trying to equal a fighter in combat. Would that be enough to allow more flexibility without letting players abuse the system? Right now, is there a feat that would allow a fighter to add Stealth as a class skill? And if a rogue is willing to use the rogue's fewer feats for combat feats, that's already allowed, though many of those have a Strength minimum. I just don't know enough about it. Class systems frustrate me, sometimes, but they are maybe a bit easier to use than straight point-based systems. And class systems encourage players to specialize within their team. I like that.
