[QUOTE="Disparue, post: 5779694, member: 6688063"] Iron Heroes had a pretty decent system. Instead of penalizing for non-class skills it just made it easier for you to take class skills. -No class skills -You get a few skill groups -If you spend a point on any skill in a skill group they all go up one point -You can still put points into any skill Example skill group athletics: climb, jump, swim Under this system characters can easily level up the skills that are thematically attached to their character class and they are not prevented from branching out if they want to. For instance, a wizard could take climb or swim but would have to allocate more skill resources to it than a class that has this as one of their skill groups. Conversely, you could just make all the skill groups into "super-skills" and reduce the number of skill points classes receive. Take a point in athletics and that skill covers all the sub-skills. I don't really like this second option, but it would really make for a smaller character sheet. [/QUOTE]
