[QUOTE="DMKastmaria, post: 5798490, member: 6678082"] I use ability checks for things that wouldn't come with the PC's class territory (3d6 to 5d6, depending) and either a saving throw (nice gauge of PC level) or a d6 roll modified by any relevant ability bonus/penalty, for adjudicating attempts at class related activities. I also throw in a variant of the "Good At" system, (can't think of the fellows name who came up with that one.) Basically, a player can choose an activity to make a "class-skill" every so many levels. Whatever he wants. Very minor magical talents are ok, too. So, if a Fighter wants to be the "Beastmaster" he can talk to animals at 1st level. Maybe see through their eyes at 5th. Simple. Takes less than a page to completely describe. Doubtlessly, not fiddly enough for many gamers. ;) [/QUOTE]
