[QUOTE="candidus_cogitens, post: 307079, member: 770"] I see some possibilities here. How about this tweak: Ranks cannot be greater than the sum of your level plus governing ability MOD (as opposed to SCORE). This rule would replace the limitation of ranks to 3 + character level. So, a third level PC with -2 CHA could not have more than one rank in diplomacy, but if the same PC had a +2 DEX, he could have up to five ranks in tumble. This would eliminate the problem of being more constraining for higher level PCs. As I have modified the rule, it would affect PCs of all levels pretty much the same (I think). The other consequence of this modification would be that skill ranks would generally be kept at lower levels, unless you have +3 or greater in the related ability. This would then mean that some players would have to spread out their skill points more broadly since they might not be able to spend all their skill points on just a few skills. [/QUOTE]
