Skills give Save Bonus?

[dodrudon]

Suggesting a change:

The current Craft Armor/Weapon/Trap feats are useless combat-wise. Would it be okay to change it so that they each give +1 bonus to a particular save (fort/will/reflex) per 12 base ranks in the skill? This would max out at +5 to saves. For instance, 24 Craft Armor and 36 Craft Trap would give +2 to fort and +3 to reflex saves.

Comments on balance?

I got this idea thinking about Courteous Magocracy, and thought this might be more balanced.

iirc bonuses to saves from skills (like spellcraft) count towards the +20 cap from items...

[dodrudon]

Yeah I know, I was suggesting a system where they give bonus to base saves, like the legendary feats.

Possible, but not very balanced.
