[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 740142, member: 2358"] No, that is not how it's done. You do not equate skill points to the absolute weakest feats. You have to go with the average power of feats. Skill Focus is nearly useless most of the time, and NEVER has ANY great effect on the game. You simply CAN NOT compare skills and feats, because if you try, you will quickly realize how useless skills are compared to feats. MOST skills (all but like three of them in fact) are RP skills only and have no ACTUAL bearing on the game mechanics. As such, they should hardly be factored. I'm sorry, but 8 skill points are not equal to a feat. You're comparing apples and oranges. If you wanna know how useful the skills are, make two vampires, one by your system and one with my changes, otherwise EXACTLY THE SAME. Then make them fight each other. They should be a whole CR apart, maybe a whole EL. As such, if skills truly had an effect, you would notice a power difference. I wager, however, that you will see no power difference. [/QUOTE]
