[QUOTE="Sempronius, post: 4686675, member: 82616"] Slwoyach: The thing I see as weird with your system is that 5 tics are all that is needed, each and every skill rank (or + skill tic). I like the idea in the OP, but with this amendment: Each time you succeed at a skill check, you have a chance to get a skill tic. When you earn more skill ticks for a skill than you have ranks in the skill, you gain another skill rank. The chance to gain a skill rank is double the difference between the DC of tthe check, and your skill ranks in the skill+10 plus 1 on a d20. EG: A first level elf rogue is looking for traps, and finds one. The DC was 20. The rogue has a bonus of +11 to his check: 4 ranks, +3 skill focus, +2 ability, and +2 racial. He has a to score a 13 or lower on a d20 to gain a skill rank. This variant actually seem to benefit those who get massive bonuses from outside their skill ranks, allowing them to take harder challenges, while those without have to suffer some measly 1 or 4 out of 20 chance to get a skill tic.
