Better to ditch the whole skill system and use only ability check then.The 3ed rules make it already very easy to keep track of skills, if you just max all of them out. It might be cumbersome if a player spreads all the skill points into different skills, but it's completely optional. House rules like this one take options away and force you to fit into one case which was anyway allowed since the start.For me, the best version of the skill system was the first (3.0 all the way). Some skills were less useful, so what? Feats can have better ones but not skills? And anyway to make a skill better is dead easy, just add new uses to it and it becomes more attractive, and it's fully back-compatible with any published book too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
