[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 4085633, member: 4937"] Ok. Say what? I thought you said he had an 18 Int? Doesn't that mean he could max out 6 skills - 7 if he's human. And since he really only needs 2 skills, plus some knowledge skills perhaps not possessed by others in the party, he's got alot of skill points left to spend. That is in my opinion, extremely poor design on the part of the DM. You are punishing players for getting skillful at something, rather than letting them enjoy the rewards of thier skillfulness. Some DC's should scale with level, but on average walls shouldn't get smoother, floors more slippery, treasure more exotic, objects harder to craft, runes harder to decipher, entanglements harder to escape from, ropes harder to tie, animals harder to handle or ride, weather harder to survive, wounds harder to treat, and so forth simply because the characters are getting tougher. That he isn't getting some tangible benefit out of 5 ranks in some skill is the fault of the DM, not the system. [/QUOTE]
