[QUOTE="Don Durito, post: 8179048, member: 6687260"] I'm not sure it matters in terms of sneaking. In the caste of Sleight of Hand you could make it something only certain characters can attempt (Either rogues only, or if you're keeping backgrounds, characters with appropriate backgrounds.) After all there's only a small percentage of people in the real world who could even really attempt to pull off something with sleight of hand. The variants in the DMG basically reflect how other games handle things. Castle and Crusades is an almost retroclone built on on the 3e chassis which has a Primes system very similar to the ability score variant, while Shadow of a Demon Lord and 13th Age both use a system similar to the background proficiency variant. A lot depends on what you want? I can see different results depending on whether the desire is to double down and protect class niches, or to have things wide open. [/QUOTE]
