Regarding New Skills

[Raksha]

First of all, want to give you all serious props on the most recent updates -- we the playerbase are very much looking forward to exploring new and shiny things. ^_^

Regarding the transition to the full 3.5 skillset, including Knowledge skills and the like, will established and capped characters be able to take advantage of this at all? Is there any way that you all have in mind to let them reallocate skill points according to the way they should be? Or, as was the case with new spells, are they simply out of luck?

Just wondering, for purposes of planning and such. Thanks!

I like to use the excuse: Since we're in beta, were not gonna give relevels for skils if you can find a sympathetic DM maybe, but the official party line for general purposes is No.

Due to the fact that we can't relevel everyone--or else no DM would have time to run plots for anyone--our policy has to be that we don't allow relevels.

We do allow deleveling to level 1 or 3, but only on a case by case basis and as a one time thing.

Would it be possible to write an NPC with a subtract XP/Add xp script and place him in an OOC area (Such as the AFK area) for a limited time to effect the transition? This would eliminate the burden on the DM and allow players to relevel their established characters under the new rules.

While this would work for honest players, some people would undoubtedly take advantage of this, and instead of using it simply for re-allocating skill points they would do other things like change feats around, possibly stat points, it's really something that needs to be monitored. Not to mention the people who would do complete overhauls.

Aw, crap. I have a character that I've made but hardly played whose entire concept is based on disguise...
