[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7221609, member: 996"] Some skills, or at least tasks you do with a skill, clearly point to a stat making you better at them. It doesn't make a lot of sense for an 18 DEX character to suck at balancing or an 8 DEX character to be naturally good at it, for instance. Maybe you could use an aptitude-point system like that to let characters customize their bonus with a skill, by adjusting it up or down from the 'dominant' stat bonus? So if you're a 16 DEX character who's not so good at balancing and other agility tasks, but is particularly good at fine-motor tasks, he might be able to accept a -2 to balancing and get a +2 when picking a pocket (or a lock)? OK, good. ;) That is a deeper issue. [/QUOTE]
