Arkrim:
These are problems to me. How would you overcome them? (other than just ignoring them or pretending they don't exist)
^ You seem to have trouble with this part.
Your previous post implied chopping up the already too small bonus into smaller bonuses (cross class and class), which doesn't address the issue AT ALL. So no, you didn't. You just ignored the question, which is not the same as answering it.
The +2 to +6 scale IS the problem. It's too small for a d20 game. The obvious answer is to increase the numbers, but at what scale is debatable.
If you split it up AFTER that, then you may have something useful to work with, but not before.
But if you just do nonproficient, proficient (cross-class) and proficient (class), that's still only 3 tiers of scale.
And a street performer expected to be good at disguises would certainly have it as a class skill if their class were "street performer" and yet would the master of disguise spy still be on par with such a character rather than superior in nature? So there needs to be a different distinction.
