Skill Mastery

[Vyctor]

Since in PnP the Skill Mastery rogue special ability allows a rogue to automatically take 10 on a set number of skills (3+Int Mod), I would like to see Skill Mastery be available to, in the case of skills with a roll, allow a person to select an option to where that rogue always rolls a 10 for the selected skills, or for skills without a roll, gets a static +10 bonus. This would help in a lot of areas and help to bring those with more level in rogue to be better spot in particular skills. This would make the Skill Mastery ability an ability worth choosing as well. Anyone else agree?

Eh, a static +10 is a ridiculously overpowered bonus... but this would, in essense, do almost the same thing for certain rolls (trapmonkeys could save +5 disable device because they won't have to add until they're sure they won't blow it, etc.).

I'm concerned about adding this.

Okay maybe the static 10 is too much, but the auto take 10 for rolled checks shouldn't be a problem, since that's by design. The static 10 for non-rolled skills could be a 5 and still make the entire thing worthwhile.

as is, a static +1 to skills is pathetic IMO. It should have been +2 to all skills. More than that would be too much though.
