Each level, your character gains a number of skill ranks
dependent upon your class plus your Intelligence modifier (pg 86).
My question is are we using general math?
For Instance: Human=1, Fighter=2, 7 Int = -2 modifier
3 plus -2 = 1
Thus, no skills for this character.
Or, does each class get set skill points and we can add our modifier to it, but don't subtract our modifier from it.
There have been plenty of Warriors in over the years that we dumb as rocks, but still had the skills to win wars...because they knew battle and had great Str/Dex/Con....
So why should negative intelligence effect true skills? Wield a sword well is just muscle memory and great training.
Your class or race bonuses should be set in stone.
Skills should have bonuses if you are wicked smart, but just because you are not doesn't mean you can't perform skills.
What are we saying about people...We need to re-think this one.
