[QUOTE="Tarrasque Wrangler, post: 1121458, member: 7473"] I like the Class VS. Cross Class skill distinction well enough to keep it in the D20 homebrew system I'm currently working on, but the difference is I will let players choose their class skills. The base I'm working from is (6+Int Bonus) Class Skill slots, with a free class skill slot added at 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th levels. The assumption I'm working from is that every class has 3-5 archetypical skills it "absolutely must have" to succeed (spellcraft/knowledge/concentration for spellcasters, the core thief skills for rogues, perform/diplomacy/bluff/etc. for bards, and so on). After buying those skills, PCs should also have one or two class skill slots left over to fill with skills unique to the character. The bonus class skills received every fifth level represent new areas of focus that the character picks up over the course of their career. [/QUOTE]
