Been making some things for my homebrew setting, mostly massive feat revisions. Just finished the [Skill] type feats. Skill Feats act as general feats, in all respects. The catagory is simply there for indexing/ease of looking up.
A quicky rundown of some homebrew changes you must be keep in mind when reading this feats;
1. Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate have been made into a new skill, Influence (Cha), that has sub-uses/abilities. Some feats and racials only give a bonus to specific aspects to Influence, just like many do Perception (sight/touch/scent-based perception checks and haggle/seduction/intimidation influence checks, etc).
2. Profession and Appraise have been removed and made into a new skill, Knowledge (Trade) (Int). This functions like the old profession and appraise combined, except you dont have to take sub-catagories.
3: Climb, Swim and Ride have been combined into a new skill, Athletics (Str). This functions the same as the old skills in all respects.
Keep in mind most of these feats are simply revisions, some minor, some major, some made from scratch myself.
Anyway, rate em, use em, love em, hate him. Up to you, feedback is enjoyed. Behold - meh featz.
