Really simply, in the class variants, the Removed Class Skills doesn't work. It only removes the alphabetically first one, so I was going to do it manually.

@Sendric: What exactly are you referring to?

@RavenX: Without being able to adjust how skill ranks are calculated I do not know how adding the tag will help me; rather, I wouldn't know how to use it.

As a Dirty Work Around I did
I did the following in an eval script for the variant class

Post-attributes: 100000
~Halve the effective ranks
hero.childfound[kKnowNat].field[kUserRanks].value=hero.childfound[kKnowNat].field[kUserPts].value/2
~Now subtract this from the final displayed value
hero.childfound[kKnowNat].field[kModValue].value+=-hero.childfound[kKnowNat].field[kUserRanks].value

I didn't think I would need the second line, but it seems that HL doesn't use kUserRanks to define the final value, but rather possibly applies a .5*hero.childfound[k?].field[kUserPts].value instead. This seems silly to me.
