Galeros said:It still does not sounds too bad. I mean, say a 1st level Human has Knowledge(Arcana) as a trained skill, and he took the Skill Focus feat in it and he has a +3 int mod. He would have a +14 to his knowledge check which is pretty good for 1st level. I know this is using 3.X terms, but the system does not seem so bad from what I have heard of it.![]()
It falls down in three principal cases:
- Characters who are "trained" in a skill but not exceptional. A monk's Listen skill might be an example, for a typical fighter's Ride skill. But in Saga, everyone who is trained and close to the same level has the same bonus, unless someone took Skill Focus.
- Mutliclassed characters who are less than level 6 have a hard time training in a variety of skills, without house rules being involved.
- There is no way to train in a non-class skill, since that would make it, effectively, a trained class skill.
Everything else is a corner case. Those are the three main complaints for me.
