[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9611333, member: 6877472"] Well maybe. I mean, Skill Focus for +3, the various +2/+2 Feats, +2 synergy bonuses for related skills- you could get pretty impressive checks early on if you cared to. I remember playing a Druid in a game where the DM really wanted to stress exploration challenges, and thanks to the built-in +2 to Nature and Survival checks from just being a Druid (Nature Sense), I was trivially foraging for food to supply the whole party each day (who needs Goodberry?) and overcoming most of the "survive in wilderness/don't get lost" checks. Further, as an Elf (+2 Listen and Spot built-in), and the fact I was proficient in those Skills and had a Wisdom focus, meant I was noticing most everything that wasn't a Stealth-focused monster. Oh and that wasn't even taking into account my Animal Companion's Scent ability, which drove my DM up the wall, lol- turns out most Stealth-based monsters don't have any particular way to cover up their scents! And that was just me, you should have seen what our Rogue was getting up to, with a backpack stuffed full of Masterwork Tools! [/QUOTE]
