It doesn't have to be a D&D skill system that already exists.1) Provide for use in a tactical combat situation, that doesn't require a bunch of extra rolling on a players turn. In D&D this might be the 3x tumble skill for example or the 4e Acrobatics.2) Allow for non-action skills that aren't tied directly to adventuring. These might be like NWP from 2e: cooking, dancing, fishing, etc. Basically character fleshing skills that don't require significant player resources to invest in. They may give a small bonus to other skills or actions (such as a bonus to diplomacy for cooking a great meal for someone), but by themselves don't rank up to other skills.3) Allow for the micro-game experience. This might be something like 4e's skill challenges. Basically half way between a single roll for resolution and a combat encounter, as far as micro-game goes.4) Don't require additional stats other than the skills themselves.There are many aspects of different skill systems that I like, including 4e, PF, Cortex+. But I'm not tied to any of them.Any suggestions are welcome!</blockquote>
