Skill Synergy

[Jeph]

Would it be horrible if, instead of synergetic skills granting a +2 bonus for 5 or more ranks, they granted +1 per 4 ranks? For instance, if a character had 12 ranks in Tumble, they'd get +3 to balance. Doesn't seem terribly game breaking, IMHO, and rewards 1st level characters for maxng out (not sure weather this is good, bad, or nuetral).

In epic, there is a rule where for every 10 (I think - exact number may be wrong) ranks you have beyond five, you get an additional synergy bonus - +2 for 5 ranks, +4 for 15, +6 for 25 and so on.

No it would not be horrible... as long as you as DM can deal with it nothing is broken.

It might get a little out of hand at the high levels with so many other ways to get bonuses to skills, but that would depend on the DM

Bret thats 20 ranks over five and every 20 after that. (thus a 22 level charter will have a +4 bonus).
