[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 4527729, member: 4892"] I don't think you are giving the 4E skill system a fair shake. It's definately different than what you are used to, but in many ways it can be used to achieve the goals you have in mind for your PC. See my post above for ways that I, as DM, would help a player incorporate the use of haikus into the system. I don't need a Perform (haiku) skill to make it useful and meaningful. Nor do I need skill point granularity to make a robust and interesting skill system. Most players I have met don't have 5 ranks in "Perform (Haiku)" on their 8th level Fighter becuase they have fine-tuned it to that point. They have that number of ranks because they are working within the confines of the 3E skill system. What they really want is for the performance of haikus to be important to their PC for some reason and by working together with them to achieve their haiku-spouting goals I believe I can provide them with a more satisfying experience in 4E than 3E.
