With the advent of many books pertaining to third edition D&D, many skills were made and create the basis of the game.  However, every system needs a little adjustment, so this is how our home campaigns have chosen to change skills.  Changes will be in italic to make them easier to find (or in the options section of the skills), sometime with additional notes.  I would also like to know what other changes people use when they play.  Please send them to me (DUgorek@hotmail.com), and I'll post them as well.  Enjoy
