[QUOTE="ren1999, post: 5912576, member: 85179"] There isn't too much wrong with skills in 4E and Pathfinder. They work well enough for me and mine. But this EN World user gets credit for this idea. S'mon's Difficulty Class Table for all Skill Checks 10: Easy Heroic task 15: Moderate Heroic task 20: Hard Heroic Task, Easy Paragon Task 25: Moderate Paragon Task 30: Hard Paragon Task, Easy Epic Task 35: Moderate Epic Task 40: Hard Epic Task I personally think that Endurance and Athletics shouldn't be a skill but rather an aspect of Strength or Constitution checks. Here is a list of skills that I have reworded a little to give players a hint of what the skill does. Players should be able to work together and combine skills. For example, a dwarf could work with his party's wizard by crafting a metal weapon where the wizard crafts the spell enchanting that weapon. Sleight of Hand - rogue Stealth Evade - rogue Disable Device - rogue (Open Lock) Disguise Self - rogue Escape Artist - rogue (Pick Pocket) Sneak Attack - rogue Nature Survival - ranger Knowledge Plants - druid, ranger Knowledge Animals - druid, ranger Track Quarry - ranger Handle Animal - ranger Forage Food - ranger Build Shelter - ranger Pass No Trace - druid, ranger Knowledge Dungeoneering - ranger and any class Power Punch - monk Perform Music - bard Spot Listen (wis) Climb Surface Swim Distance Ride Horse Sail Ship Use Rope (int) Slow Fall (dex) Aid Ally Bandage Ally Appraise Item (int) Craft Poison (int) - rogue Craft Potion (int) Craft Wood (int) Craft Stone (int) - Knowledge Engineering Craft Metal (int) Craft Leather (int) Craft Scroll (int) Knowledge Arcana (int) - Spellcraft, Detect Magic, Enchant Item Knowledge Monsters (int) Knowledge Religion (wis) Knowledge Language (int) Knowledge CourtBehavior Knowledge History - by Adventure Campaign Bluff Others (cha) Extend Diplomacy (cha) Intimidate Others (cha) [/QUOTE]
