[QUOTE="ElectricDragon, post: 7185107, member: 10778"] Ok, here's what I've got so far. Help, Comments? [b]Intelligence affects your current total skill points as well as your modifier to Intelligence-based skills.[/b] When you gain a point of Intelligence that increases your number of skill points/level; you suddenly find that you understand the skills you had been working on better than before. In game terms: A. you gain a number of skill points equal to your level that must be spent on skills that you have at least one rank in but are not maxed out for your level. B. If you have no skills that fall into this category, these extra points are lost. [b]Descriptive Text[/b] You get better at using your Intelligence-based skills just by your Intelligence increasing. You, also, better understand the skills you have already gained. [b]Permanent Intelligence Loss[/b] [still not sure why this has to be a part of the rule; but oh well] If the Intelligence loss results in a loss in skill points/level, the number of skill points lost times the level of the character is the number of skill points lost: 1.) This is handled after combat (if it happens during combat) 2.) The DM and the affected player get together and decide which skills take the hit and how much on each. 3.) No skill can be unlearned (must have at least one "relative" rank left in each skill) 4.) Chosen skills receive a negative modifier equal to the number of skill points chosen to be lost in that skill that lasts until the condition is removed 5.) The world blows up on schedule. [/QUOTE]
