Whenever a character has 5 ranks in a skill, they receive a 1 synergy bonus to the attribute associated with that skill. So, for example, taking five ranks in knowledge:arcana by 5th level will give a character a knowledge score of 1, 6 to knowledge:arcana roles and 1 to all other knowledge checks. |
This is functionally very similar to a character with an Intelligence of 12 and 5 ranks in knowledge:arcana. Why change this from the current D20 system?
