[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 5061388, member: 25696"] I'd say the Able Learner Feat (from Races of Destiny) is something to go for. It allows you to buy all skills for one skillpoint per rank (even for cross class skills) although the max ranks remains the same. Requires you to be Human, Doppleganger or Changeling though. Other options to consider are the Bardic Knack alternate class feature ( from Player Handbook 2, replaces Bardic Knowledge) that allows you to treat all skills as if you had half your bard level in ranks in them. Trained only skills need to have at least 1 actual rank in them to allow this. This could free up skillpoints you'd be pumping into cross class skills otherwise. (note that this feature does not let you qualify for feats or PrC's that require a number of ranks in a certain skill. You still need actual ranks for that) Alternatively, the Jack of All Trades feat from Complete Adventurer allows you to treat all skills as if you had 1/2 a rank in them (effectively making all skills Untrained skills!) All above are options to 'cover all your bases'. For your real focus, you're still better off with [/QUOTE]
