Unofficial rules compendium

Learning Skills

• All characters get 2 extra skill points per level and 8 extra skill points at level 1.
• All skills cost one skill point to improve. There are still different rank limits on class and cross-class skills. Note that once a certain skill has ever been a class skill, the higher limit applies (this is not a rule change).
• Skill point bonuses are based on permanent, intrinsic Intelligence score. Permanent changes to Intelligence retroactively changes the number of skill points.

Using Skills

• I use the critical success and failure rule - DMG p 34.
• Skill synergies are not used.
