Spotlight On: Skills

Skills are one of the rules that I am giving a major reworking to.  I have looked at combining redundant skills together, such as happened in Pathfinder, and many homebrew campaigns, and coming up with new skills that I felt were missing from the game.  I have also turned a few basic mechanics into skills, such as saving throws now being skills, and base attack bonus is now gone, replaced by several weapons skills.
