But as I amplified in an earlier post, I don't expect a single skill to cover the same importance to the character's role as the class does, and it's disingenuous to suggest that's what I am saying or have said since.Sure: class skills.I've made it pretty plain that I believe so, yes.Within the realms of technology considered permissible in the setting, why not? Spycraft would let you. It would be a gadget, and you can build it with science (which is for all intents and purposes Spycraft's "craft" skill.)In case it's not clear: yes, I think you are coming across as telling me (and anyone else who plays the game) that taking profession/craft skills is only fit for "sidekicks" (I guess NPCs in your lexicon.) I can't muster any other way to take it. It seems to be pretty much "what you are saying". What am I missing? You don't like the use of the term "proper"?There are 8 core classes in the 4e PHB and 11 in the 3e PHB. Yes, I think that one player out of 4-6 is worth catering. Especially considering that rule does double duty as being a basic system for handling common NPC capabilities.</blockquote>
