[QUOTE="Pentius, post: 5617141, member: 6676736"] No, I'm totally agreeing that you could find people trying to pick their skills in such a way as to game the system. Metagaming to figure out what the DM will do is part of the cost/benefit analysis, specifically, it's trying to determine how much benefit is inherent in such a choice. I still think that gaming the system when picking one's skills does not a problem player make. There, we may have to agree to disagree. I agree that this, along with many other house rules, can improve the game experience. I'm not against house ruling, or variant fighters. Heck, fighters need every edge they can get, in my opinion. But if we have to fix it, it follows that it was indeed a problem. There are many rivers that are over my head that I would still consider shallow, and just what constitutes fast moving is probably a subjective topic as well. I may be biased, though, since I have lived most of my life within walking distance of rivers that would go over a giant's head, let alone a man's. [/QUOTE]
