Instead introduce a new category of Performance proficiencies (including those instruments, but also things like dance, song, oratory...). Characters then pick up a number of these, possibly with Bards getting them all.Remove Deception, Persuasion, and Intimidate skills. Instead introduce a new category of Social proficiencies, each relating to a category of people (nobles, peasants, the military, criminals...). Characters then pick up a number of these - this has the effect of spreading the role of "face" among the party, instead of the high-Cha skilled person dominating the Interaction pillar.Combine Perception and Investigation into a single skill, and rename it to Senses.Roll those aspects of Nature dealing with animals into Animal Handling, and the rest into Survival. The distinction isn't really enough to matter.Add a skill dealing with things like heraldry, social structures, and the like. I think much of this is supposed to fit under History, but that has always felt like a poor fit.Beef up Medicine so that it's actually worth taking. My suggestion would be that successful use allows the recipient to spend a Hit Die (refresh on Short Rest).Reintroduce Passive Insight.</blockquote>
