I'd rather encourage people to be clever, even if that means temporarily ignoring the mechanics. I don't want players to hold back from playing until they have enough of the right skill ranks on their character sheets.Look at it this way. One function of the levelling mechanics is to give the players a progressive series of tangible rewards. Players like that. Appeals to the game-player in all of us.However, players also like it when the DM just says: "Now that was really brilliant. It works." Its just as much a part of the system as the other reward mechanics, even though it isn't neatly codified. Sometimes these systems are at odds. And in those cases, I just go with what brings my players the most enjoyment.</blockquote>
