Revised d20 Skill list

I have presented here the changes to the d20 skill list I will be using in the game. Generally this represents a consolidation of some of the lesser used skills into other skills. Most these changed are from the skill changes between 3.0 and 3.5, or some of the more useful changes made to the skill list in the Spycraft RPG.

To determine if a new skill is available to your character as a class skill, just check if one or more of the old skills it replaces used to be a class skill. Use the reverse logic to determine if you meet the skill requirements for a prestige class defined with the old skill system.

The complete skill list with revisions is now:
Acrobatics
Appraise
Athletics
Bluff
