Message: <blockquote data-quote="BryonD" data-source="post: 3725808" data-attributes="member: 957">I never thought of Raistlin working on cliff climbing during his off time, or swimming.Or Conan working on forgery.If a specific character should have three ranks in a specific skill, then why not put three ranks in the specific skill.  That one character may work that way is no reason to give every character a +5 in every skill.  If they have a bonus is EVERY skill, then it ends up being "just because".And I completely reject the idea that it is comedy that getting past a cliff is a challenge for a Raistlin style mage.  To the contrary, of Raistlin needs to get over a cliff he will either need to be carried or he will need to use up some of his magic.  That is part of what makes Raistlin be Raistlin and it is heroic that he faces challenges.  If every 4E mage were to have a basic climbing skill then it would put a big dent in the ability to truly play a Raistlin archetype.</blockquote>
