A minor issue over something unclear
Under these rules for standardised skill points, do we still get 4x that number at first level, or are we stuck with say 4 per level, even at first? If the latter, then I honestly have no idea how anyone manages to tame animals, as the DC for being able to interact with a suspicious CR 2 animal is 29. One would expect a wild animal to be suspicious of humans. I know you want to avoid the problems with diplomacy (which, for the record, had the most synergies of any skill), but how in the hell are we supposed to even have a chance of taming animals?
