[QUOTE="Maniac, post: 707206, member: 2863"] Wow, I guess in my games we are just not applying Use Rope in as many situations as others. I can see some situations where we used rope but the GM did not have use make any rolls could have been used there. Somehow though, I still don't see having a lot of my characters take it - I guess I just have a personal bias against it :) This is exactly my thought - somehow tone down tumble and include the balance stuff with it, maybe call it acrobatics or something else. Maybe its the power gamer in me but I always have a hard time picking skills for my characters. By combining some it reduces the choices and makes it easier for me! I agree that it is up to the GM and I think the players to balance out skill use but some skills are much more broadly defined than others and so their use is much easier to arrange in an adventure. I just think a few are too narrow (Intuit direction) or too broad (Profession) and could use some tweaking. What do you guys think of the profession skill? M. [/QUOTE]
