[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 126216, member: 945"] My friends and I brought up this topic a while back. Not the sailor aspect, but just skill choices in general. Actually, I find it quite rude of WoTC do dictate to me what skills I can and can't take as a character. I mean, they've already limited how "skillful" a PC is by giving them [i]n[/i] number of skill points per level, but then to restrict the list even further is just overkill. I'd almost be willing to just say that, aside from exclusive skills (read lips, etc) that all skills are class skills. Maybe even apply the "expert" rules to all the PCs - that they can choose 10, and everything else is a cross-class skill. I mean, clerics was the argument I was basing this off of. If you made a cleric of a god of deception and lies, you'd still have to take bluff, disguise, and innuendo as cross-class skills. Makes no sense. My DM let my Bard take Spot as a class skill, since in the description it says that Bards are scouts and spies. Still not sure why Bards have Scry as a class skill. Just don't see Bards sitting behind crystal bards peering on their enemies all the time. [/QUOTE]
