I have been working on an alternative skill set, rolling some skills into others. Tell me what you think about it.
Acrobatics (merges Balance, Escape artist, Tumble)
Arts & Crafts (merges Appraise, Craft, Profession, with a -4 penality to Appraise checks if the field of knowledge is not pertinent)
Athletics (merges Climb, Jump, Swim)
Autohypnosis
Bluff (merges Bluff, Sense Motive)
Concentration
Diplomacy (merges Diplomacy, Gather Information)
Disguise
Forgery
Handle Animals
Heal
Intimidate
Knowledge
Martial Lore
Mechanical Devices (merges Disable Devices, Open Locks)
Perception (merges Listen, Search, Spot)
Perform
Psicraft
Ride
Sleight of Hand
Speak Language
Spellcraft
Stealth (merges Hide, Move Silently)
Survival (merges Survival and Use Rope)
Use Supernatural Device (merges Use Magic/Psionic Device)
If a class was proficient in at least one of the condensed skills, she gains proficiency in the new skill altogether (ex., Spot and Listen are class skills for Druids, but not Search: since the three skills have been rolled into Perception, this skill is now class skill for the Druid).
I was thinking to grant an extra 2 skill points at every level to each class (+3 for Humans), usually multiplied by 4 at 1st level.
PEACH.
