Open Locks & Disable Device - What if...
Well, we all have seen the changes on skills that were done on 3.5, the change of innuendo and read lips to be included inside other skills made me think of this:
Open Locks could be made a use of disable device, as such it would eliminate a very specific skill and make a more broad even more useful, but doing so would make the rogue even more awesome, since it retained its 8 skill points and has three less skills to worry about (innuendo, read lips and in this case, open locks).
As a balance rougues could be changed for 6 skill points/level, it wouldn't hurt much since the old rogue abilities would be grouped in 6 skills, while in "old" 3e it was done in 9, what results in one skill for each ability, one more than the 3e availability.
What do you all think about it? Would open locks becoming disabel device use be a good idea? if yes, reducing rogues skill points be a companion to this house rule?
I have inserted a pool to know the general opinion, in case you don't want to reply, at least vote, the ideas are welcome, though.
Edit: I have voted in order to see the results, it will not count, though, i voted for: It is not a bad idea and the reduction of skills would be a good balance.
