| I'm with Mustrum Ridcully on this one. I'm a fan of class skill, but not cross class skills. I think that class skills help a player focus on the skills that are relevant to their class. This ensures that a player's character can actually perform their classes role. This is even more important in d20 Modern where skills come into play more often that D&D (well in my games anyway).

"A defensible choice, a close second even, but not mine. I would choose the moment when the Roman plebians required the patricians to write down the twelve tablets of the law and put them where everyone could see them—and thereby proclaimed the law supreme over the politicians. The rule of law is the essence of freedom."
