I'd hate to play in a game where skill points was a set amount, unlinked to Int...  When I build a fighter, I usually rank Int ahead of Con.  (I know, I know, I'm a bit odd.)It's not just that a high Intelligence provides a way to differentiate characters (a fighter can be strong/fast/tough/smart to various degrees), but that not being able to pump up Int to get more skill points can be a serious problem for certain goals.  For example, if you made fighters have 2 skill points per level, that makes it nearly impossible for a fighter to get mobility-enhancing skills.  (Admittedly, a fighter who wants to do a lot of mobility-related skills should probably take one level of some other class to increase the cross-skill cap on Tumble.)It also means that a fighter who has an Int of 13+ is doing it pretty much *just* for Combat Expertise...  A +1 bonus to all Knowledge skills isn't that interesting when you don't have any skill points to spend getting ranks in Knowledge skills.Anyway, what it really comes down to is that I like to play fighters with an Int of at least 14, so such a system would piss me off to no end.  ;>  Heck, one of my favorite 3E characters was such a fighter who was the most intelligent character in the party.</blockquote>
