[QUOTE="Nergal Pendragon, post: 6339319, member: 6777649"] [COLOR=#000000]Acrobatics - A I like to try to make use of this skill in combat situations. It really should provide an AC bonus for lightly-armored characters. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Animal Handling - F Why is this a skill? [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Arcana - A This skill should be amazingly useful. Especially given how much I like to toss weird effects at people. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Athletics - A [/COLOR]You only need to tick off a red great wyrm [I]once[/I] to learn how valuable this can be. [COLOR=#000000] Deception - B Lying PCs can be fun. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]History - D[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Rarely make use of history checks. Insight - A[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Needed! Lying NPCs are also fun. Intimidation - C[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Can be good, but a high roll result can negate the usefulness of it. After all, if the NPC is so afraid of you that they wet themselves and are incoherent, you're probably not going to get anywhere. Investigation - D[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Why is this a separate skill? Medicine - B[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Medical supplies are often surprisingly useful! Nature - C Expect to use this and Survival a lot. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Perception - A[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] You need this! Performance - F[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Why is this even a skill? Persuasion - A[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] This tends to be the best way to gather info! Religion - C[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Necessary for paladins so they don't tick their gods off by going off-code. Sleight of Hand - B[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Useful in a number of situations. Stealth - B[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Sometimes it's better to sneak past the demonic army.
