Custom Skillset
Moderators: ALFA Administrators, Staff - Technical
A little bird told me that ALFA will soon be implementing these new skills. As I am considering creating another bard, I thought I'd bring up a few things that I'd like some clarification on:
Artist Feat: How will this work with the multiple Perform skills? Will it add +2 to all of them, or will it have no effect (i.e., just added to the hidden Perform skill)?
Courteous Magocracy Feat: Will this add +2 to Knowledge (Arcana)? Or just to the hidden Lore skill?
Has there been any resolution on adding the bard level to all the Knowledge skills? Or is this something all the DMs will have to take into account? Could it at least be added to the DMFI skill check roll?
I kind of liked witch's suggestion that all the Perform skills should be added. While I do appreciate the idea that people shouldn't look to be maxed in all their skills, I think these new skills affect bards more than any other class and they're entwined in the bard's core abilities.
Or maybe make the Perform skills have synergy with each other? I dunno... I just don't see many people taking more than 1, 2 at most, different Perform skills.
I'm not looking to pee in anyone's porridge here, so please don't take this the wrong way.

I've gotten stymied with the Languages system, which benefits greatly from the "automated rebuild" system we are already set to use for custom skills adaption (natural place for PCs to define their starting region in time to re-select languages). Did most of the grunt work on this last night (defining which bonus and automatic languages become available by each region and subrace), but it needs a bit more work as well as finishing the selection dialog.
The bardic knowledge / artist feat / etc are all potentially workable, though if possible I'd like to confirm how these things are handled in the PnP ruleset before implementing any extra-widespread bonuses. For feats that appear in the PHB or FRCS, I have the sourcebooks handy. For more exotic ones, this may present more of a challenge.

Re: Custom Skillset
Anything needed to move this forward?
Also... what about synergy bonuses? Like Diplomacy / Bluff / Sense Motive...
