[QUOTE="BluWolf, post: 4166179, member: 627"] But I think it can have a positive aspect. In my homebrew (I know, I hate starting off a statement this way) magical knowledge has been greatly lost. One aspect of the E10 style of play. So allowing someone to end up with a Knowledge Arcana of 13 ranks, Plus Int plus Skill focus makes the knowledge lost aspect a little hokey. The situation would paly out like this. Player "I am adding 3 more skill points to Kno: arcana" DM "well you have sort of tapped the skills and understadning of your local contact. In fact, he suggests in order for you to increase your formidable understanding, you will need to seek out the work of the great Wizard Pointyhead. Last seen in the fallen city of Dustball some hundred years ago." Now we have a RP session where the Wizard convinces the party they should REALLY go to dustball. They may even decide to do some more research. Seek out info or people who have been there. So WAS this the last place Pointyhead was seen? Why did Dustball fall? Are they up to the challenge?? Physical skills I am not so concerned with but the Craft & Knowledge skills I am. You want to become a better weapon maker?? Seek out Legendary sword maker Amakuni and see if he is taking apprentices?? [/QUOTE]
