So far, all seems good. All the costs except hiding and picking went down (and CM just transferred -2/+2). Polearms went down slightly, as did armor, dodging is slightly less than rangers, spell research went down quite a bit, thrown-weapons went way down. I'm really impressed.

Yes, some skill costs seem to have decreased....but it's my understanding that mtp/ptp's will not increase with GSIV, and we have alot more options to train in. Will be interesting to see how it balances out.

I read somewhere (GSIV Q&A I think) that simu's intention was to never allow bards/rangers the ability to 2x in spells.......but according to these new skill costs it's very easily possible, just at the expense of some core skills. Will be interesting to see if 2x or 1.5x spells would be viable option for semis.
