[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9090726, member: 7034710"] i feel like 5e's skill system would've been so much more if it hadn't so explicitly tied each of the skills to a default stat, i know you can combine them how you feel is apropriate but that feels like more of the exception rather than the rule. just look at investigation, it's the exact skill for this if you instead used CHA to represent learning things from talking to people, investigation(WIS) for all those times people say we should have streetwise back, then classic investigation(INT) for hitting the books i also think skill challenges were a good seed of an idea, if they had been treated as just multi-stage skill checks, especially now we have bounded accuracy, as there's only so high your skill checks are going, being able to test for consistency of checks as your bar for difficulty rather than putting it all onto a single sky-high check [/QUOTE]
