[QUOTE="Zerovoid, post: 179090, member: 283"] I house ruled the bard to 6 skill points and have no problem with it. I still think they lack distinction, and I would have liked the core class to have some more interesting spellcasting abilities, but it seems balanced this way. I think people who say 6 skill points is edging in on the rogue's territory are vastly underestimating the utility of sneak attack and evasion. Even if he buff's himself, a bard will never be near as good at combat as a rogue can be. I wouldn't increase the skill points of any other class though. If you give rangers 6 skill points, they will get everything they possibly want. Same with giving a cleric or fighter 4. If the bard has 6 skill points, they still do not come close to having everything a player would want, and they are still less skilled than a rogue. This seems about right for me. If anyone wants more than that, they can put a 12 or 14 intelligence. [/QUOTE]
