"Exceptionally Skilled"
You get a +4 synergy bonus to skills you have have skill synergy with, instead of +2.

08-17-07, 03:07 AM Needs to be reworded to be compatible with epic progressions (as well as things such as high level cleric-rogues who should not really be denied their turning bonus, they'll need every bit they can get)

'Synergy bonuses gained from skill ranks grant an additional +2 increase to the relevant roll'

Not that I'd be likely to take this, but the same goes for a few of the standard abilities, too (defensive roll, anyone?)
