[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 2781918, member: 710"] I admit wondering about this aspect, too. All of these uses can be defended against, they take time, and everybody can use (and benefit) from them. I hope we can play IH again someday (currently, we have 4 D&D Campaigns, 1 Warhammer and 1 Arcana Evolved campaign, and all of them are more somewhere in the middle and not at the end :/ ) It is certainly possible to have ranks in all skills, but you can't have them at a level good enough to make them count except in very standard situations. Those that put max ranks in a skill still benefit more of it and can shine with their use. The advantage is - the rest doesn't annoy your with their constant incompetence. :) It might also be neccessary, because there is no "standard party" (like in D&D with wizard, rogue, fighter and cleric) defined. That makes it neccessary to allow all characters to be able to cover for vital skills - without having to give up their core idea of the character. [/QUOTE]
