Possibly not just one other area, but maybe multiple ones (unless the one other area is a fairly critical game element).The reason for this is that a boost in an area of expertise is often one which is already boosted in other ways, and the one or two areas hampered are often ones which are not that important. So, giving up something in another area which the PC never uses or cares about is a staple of 3E that should not be propogated.E.g. The Wizard gives up some Climbing in order to gain a boost in Spellcraft is not a balanced compromise.Instead, being the best Spellcraft Wizard might mean that his ability to attack with certain types of spells is weaker (or some such).Pros and Cons, not just Pros like most 3E PrCs.</blockquote>
