NekoIncardine PROPOSAL:
 +
 +
Fax has cited dissatisfaction with two different ideas:
 +
* Skill points being largely as-is, except for multitraining synergies replacing skill-to-skill ones.
 +
* Skill points ceasing to be, in favor of being "trained" in x skills, rank = Hero Value + 3.
 +
 +
Neither quite works, but both work ''in some cases''.
 +
 +
My proposal is that this, like how stats are rolled, is a GM option - they can pick either, or let their players pick either. All skill lines are formatted as follows:
 +
 +
'''Skills: A Wizard is trained in the Mage skill set and chooses one other. If using Skill Points, a Wizard gains 2+INT skill points per level, and are trained in the Scribe skill set.'''
 +
 +
Some people will prefer one road over the other, and simply using ranks preserves more compatibility with general 3.5, which seems to be at least somewhat desirable.
 +
 +
From a play standpoint, the point-based method is better for being really good at a few thins, while the training method can be better for having a diverse skill set.
