[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6070289, member: 6681948"] Except that classes with less skill points will be much better able to apply their advantages to the skills they focus on, and disadvantages to skills they were never going to take in the first place. So my Fighter applies his CHA penalty to Use Magic Device and his INT penalty to Spellcraft. He only has 1 skill point per level (or does he get 2, since he didn't apply his INT penalty to skill points; 2 or 3 if he's human), so Advantaging the few skills he max'es, or even puts ranks into, should be pretty simple. Hopefully, a fleshed out system would provide a meaningful set of advantages and disadvantages for each stat, but it seems likely the system would still favour some characters and disfavour others. Good luck getting Advantage to all your 14 INT human rogue's skills! Where do you get the sense combat isn't affected? Attributes mentioned include AC ("Nimble"), saves (Iron Will, etc.), Damage (Hulking) and I think attack bonus was included in there somewhere as well. [/QUOTE]
