[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 4844640, member: 48520"] The class skill system kindof sucks. You pay double for cross class skills, and you have to pay the costs based on what the class skills of the class youre in the middle of taking levels in are. I use a different system. Class skills still exist, but the mechanics are different. 1. All skills cost the same amount. 2. Class skills give a +3 competence bonus. 3. Max ranks = Level, instead of Level + 3 (class skills take care of the +3) 4. you can only get the +3 once per skill. 5. You dont get skills x4 at level 1, you dont need it anymore. --I lower prestige class skill requirements to match the new system. Take the skills they have listed, subtract three from the required score, and keep a minimum of 1 rank. I use other rules for skills too. The stats work a bit differently you may want to use some of this. 1. Str is not used to hit anymore. "Weapon Finesse" is the default now. "Weapon Brutality" can be taken for big weapons like 2 handed mauls, to use STR instead. 2. Will saves depend on charisma(Force of Personality), not wisdom. 3. Instead of "Class Listing + int", skills come from "half class listing +1 + int + wis" This ensures that all of the stats do more than just skills, which charisma never used to. [/QUOTE]
