[QUOTE="GX.Sigma, post: 6183202, member: 6690511"] Boo. I really hoped I could play 5e without skills, feats, and all that extra nonsense. I guess we won't have that, since he used the phrase "here's where we ended up." That alternate system he was talking about (where you could say you're a sailor, and get your skill bonus on any check that makes sense for a sailor to be good at) sounds better for the basic game than a big ol' list of skills. I suppose it still won't be too difficult to have a character on an index card: you just write down your proficiency bonus and list the skills you're proficient in (shouldn't be too many). Pet peeve since 2008: What strength checks [I][B]aren't[/B][/I] "athletics" checks? Pet peeve since 2000: How come some skills are verbs (sense motive) and some are nouns (nature)? Edit: This sentence is interesting: He doesn't mention saving throws. I thought saving throws were the whole reason for this level-based bonus. Maybe they're going for something like the target-based saving throw system Mike mentioned on Twitter a while ago? [/QUOTE]
