After Savage Species came out and we found out that my DM and I where doing Skills wrong, I need to re-do my fighter's skill points. (if you don't want to read all the flavor/explanation, the basic question IS: What do you, as a Fighter, like to spend your skill points on? Also, I'm not really interested in Mounted Combat) He's a 3rd lvl Half-Dragon(Gold)/half Human Fighter that uses a spiked chain and focuses on tripping (and soon) disarming people <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I really like the whole concept that I have going for him, and he has an *excellent* background/flavor to him, great fun to roleplay! Here's the stats: after 32-point buy and Half-dragon racial ability mods and my 1 point bump-up (4th "lvl" ability increase) this is what I have:Str- 27Dex- 14Con- 16Int- 14Wis- 8Cha- 10 See, before we thought that I got "Dragon skill points" for my "3 levels of Half-Dragon", well we know we're wrong now and my game is Saturday and I need to re-do his skills. Before I was allowed to pick things from the "Dragon" skill list, but that's obviously not the case now. I had had a few ranks in bluff, diplomacy, escape artist, knowledge Dragons, and Tumble.  (like I said, these where on the Dragon "skill list" so I had access to them). I also used cross-class points to learn some cool languages. (Elven, Dwarven, Giant, Undercommon and 2 regional dialects, Baklunish and Suloise) Sooo, after finding out how things really work, I'm looking at a 3rd lvl Human Fighter with a 14 intelligence, so I get 4 extra points at 1st lvl, and then 5 points for all fighter lvls afterwards. So that's:20 at 1st lvl--(2+2int) X 4 (+4human)5 at 2nd lvl5 at 3rd lvl I'm wondering, what do you, as a Fighter like to spend your skills on? Since I use the spiked chain and focus on Tripping and Disarming people, I don't see that great of a need to do the Ride skill, I won't be taking Mounted Combat feats.. We play in the Greyhawk world. So, I'd love to here your opinions and thoughts and what *you* like to do with your Fighter.. even if it doesn't particularly pertain to me, it still would open my eyes a bit perhaps! Thanks!</blockquote>
