Mine looks a lot like yours, except for a few minor differences:Climb, Jump, and Swim are still separate skills. I tried combining them, but there was so much different stuff you could do that it ended up being huge and a mess.Craft and Profession are still separate. They have different stats, and they're sufficiently different that I couldn't really justify combining them.Listen and Spot were combined without Search, and the skill is called Perception. Search, besides using a different stat, requires someone to actually pay attention, while Listen/Spot are "Hey, you might've seen/heard something - give me a check."The Knowledge checks weren't combined with anything. I could see rolling Spellcraft and Knowledge (arcana) together, but not Survival and Know (nature).For skill points, I generally give them skill points equal to 1/3 of their class skills. So the new fighter, for instance, would get 2 + Int. Course, I also use a modified cross-class skill system - ALL skills are 1 point/rank, but you gain a +3 bonus for class skills, and you lose the x4 at 1st level. Now, since we've got a cut-down list and we want to give PCs more skill points to spread around to cross-class skills, I changed it to 1/4 class skills, +2 skill points. So this is what you'd end up with:4 + Int: Bbn, Clr, Ftr, Mnk, Pal, Sor6 + Int: Drd, Rgr, Rog, Wiz8 + Int: Brd(Most of these actually ended up being odd numbers, but I figured for the sake of backwards compatibility it'd be easier to keep even ones, so I rounded up in a few cases.)</blockquote>
