>>With the skills not mentioned will they be named the same as now or changed? The only skills getting name changes are: * HE --> Large Edged * HB --> Large Blunt * Stealing --> Thievery Small blades was changed to be 'Small Edged' as well, because axes are edged but arguably not blades. >>I thought you were still mulling around some ideas on how to handle Escaping and some different ways for Tactics to be calculated. I am, but the skills themselves aren't going to change. Just potentially the way they're calculated during the conversion. >>I thought the skill would be Smithing That's a good point. Let me get back to you on the name of the forging-related crafting skill. >>Is releasing the skill combine before the other systems still the plan? This was never the plan, unfortunately. The skill combination has to happen at the same time as Magic 3.0 to deal with the new magic skills, and as Combat 3.0 because of the new combat skills. Also, a huge number of scripts that I've modified to fix skill checks are part of these systems, so it would be very difficult to roll out only Skills.
