Jumping while running fast. Etc.If I had to choose just one number, I'd go for +3; I'd also prefer a +2 to 'related, but not directly related' checks, so if your skill is pickpocket, you can get your lesser bonus when you pull a shell game. (This is what my own homebrewed version of D&D uses; in fact, a lot of D&DNext sounds like stuff in my homebrew, but we'll see.)If I had to choose between +2 and +5, I'd go with +2, because we need to stomp number inflation down IMHO.</blockquote>
