+When d20 upgraded to version 3.5, a number of the ways in which skills work were altered and streamlined.  Because we are using 3.5 rules in this version of EQrpg, the skills also must be altered.  However, EQrpg uses an already-altered list of skills, so we won’t be able to use either resource as the hard-and-fast reference on all skills.
-Also, Hide has been included with Sneak, and Listen and Spot have been rolled into Perception.  (See below)
+The following changes should be made to the EQrpg list of skills to bring them closer in line with d20 3.5:

+''Animal Empathy ''– no longer a skill; instead, beastlords, druids, and rangers all gain the Wild Empathy class ability that d20 druids have.  Beastlords have a +5 bonus to Wild Empathy checks.  All references to “Animal Empathy” now refer to “Wild Empathy.”
 Make these changes to the list of class skills for each class:

	Note: when using Training Points (see EQrpg PHB pg. 50) to purchase ranks in Trade Skills, 1 Training Point buys 1 rank (normally 3 Training Points buys 1 skill rank). Additionally, there is no level-based limit to the amount of ranks you may have in trade skills. It is possible to be level 1 with 20 ranks in nothing but Trade Skill (Pottery).

			While this does make it sound easy to master a profession, one must still practice the craft in order to excel. Every time a character gains a rank in any type of Trade Skill, she must succeed on 4 challenging crafting attempts before she is qualified to gain a new rank in that Trade Skill. In this case, a “challenging attempt” is any DC equal to 14 + the character’s current skill rank.

			Production time varies from one trade to another; it takes days to create a suit of armor, and only minutes to make some stew. When you decide on a trade skill, consult with your game master about production times. You may hurry production, reducing it by half, for a DC cost of 150% of normal.

			Though the EQrpg PHB does not include information on how to actually use Trade Skill, the normal rules for the Craft skill from the SRD apply.
