[QUOTE="Galloglaich, post: 4571212, member: 77019"] Yeah that sounds workable to me, though it never did quite make sense to me why Fighters and Wizards would be so bad at skills in 3.5, I know it's needed for balance but.... anyway for skill checks within a combat I allow people to use the Martial Pool, thats in the Codex. For outside of Combat circumstances (and as an extra resource within combat as well) we use something slightly different, an idea I borrowed from a supplement I was going to do for Riddle of Steel before the new owner kind of went moribund... we use what I call "Honor Points" and "Piety Points". These are special points players can earn (or lose) in different ways, and they can drop them into a combat dice pool at a critical juncture or for a skill roll etc. They are a finite resource though so are used sparingly. Sounds like you need to find a new local gaming group. I find recruiting non-gamers is usually more fun than playing with experienced people anyway ;) G. [/QUOTE]
