Rare Individual
You are not the typical adventurer.
Prerequisite: Class Skills or Class Features
Benefit: You may exchange up to 3 skills on your skill-list for different skills. You may work with your DM to give even trades on loss of feat-equivalent class features for regular feats (maximum 1). For instance a fighter with this feat could give up Climb. Swim, and Ride for Hide, Move Silently, and Spot and exchange his Heavy and Medium Armor Proficiencies for Track.
Special: You may only take this feat if you just gained the first level of a class.

Inherently subject to DM adjucation, this is designed to provide a 'cost' for customizing your character's class. If you don't like customizing, you probably won't like this feat, but its a nice way to let someone play an off-kilter variant without feeling like you just 'gave it away'.

So wait, what is the cost? Other than having to give up three skill to get three new ones?

It's a feat, silly. That's the cost.

Not the same, but look at the "able learner" feat. The feat is restricted to humans and doppelgangers only.
This feat reduces the cost for all cross-class skills to the cost of class skills. The limited maximum rank for a cross-class skills still apply.

First of all, interesting execution, Technik4. I like it- although it's a much less "player-friendly" feat than most, in that it requires the dm's approval on the specifics. Still, I think it's a great way to allow some customization of your basic class.

Class Options..

IIRC this is an ability mentioned in the DMG... and its something I do for players all the time.

Many a military scout was made from tweaking the Rogue skill list

It's suggested even in the players handbook. I almost ran a fighter with a few social skills in place of the physical skills (Jump, Climb, Swim for Diplomacy, Bluff, Sense Motive) to play a noble type character.
