[QUOTE="GreatLemur, post: 3807074, member: 28553"] I'm not too comfortable about a d20 skill system that doesn't let me buy individual ranks, or skills that go up passively along with character level. The former doesn't reflect how I build my characters now, and the latter doesn't support the way I think of high-level characters and specialization. Still, I do have to admit that a simpler, Saga-Edition-style skill system will make character-building a [i]lot[/i] less annoying for some players. Frigging [i]absolutely[/i]. When my archer player says "I grew up on a farm; can I tell if the cow needs to be put out of its misery?", I don't ask if she's got ranks in Knowledge (nature) or Profession (farmer); I just tell her "Oh, yeah. That cow needs to die." Damn good points. I just hope that 10th-level Wizards aren't going to end up being inexplicably just as good at picking locks as 1st-level Rogues. [/QUOTE]
