My thinking is I would like the cleric to be the best at religious knowledge, the fighter to be the most athletic, the wizard to know about arcane lore, the ranger to be the best survivalist, etc.... but leave it up to the player if they want to fall in line with those stereotypes maybe someone wants his fighter to be an expert in artisan tools: cooking utensils and be an iron chef so I don't want to pigeonhole them. What do you all think of this house rule?The only issue is it steps on the toes of the classes that already get expertise a bit, but they get the bonus expertise as well and it is only to one skill.</blockquote>
