[QUOTE="Tharen the Damned, post: 3806815, member: 17091"] Ok, to make it clearer. In D&D, if you do not have the climb skill you have a hard time climbing even if you are a healthy strong PC and get Ability bonuses. So you are strong and healthy and can not climb this Tree because you have no skill ranks. This is even more ridiculous for a Str. 10 commoner. To even this out, everybody should have at least some ranks in climbing and other skills that everybody can try to use without training. You could make it easier. Maybe make the first 5 ranks cost 1 point each, the next 5 ranks cost 2pts each and so on. I am to lazy to do the math for this to get a beautiful curve that is horizontal at 20th or for 4th at 30th level. This is something that irks me, because it essentially demeans the skill type characters like the rogue.
