Any way to change the Class Skills?

[sylvyr]

Is there a feat or ability (Feat mainly) that allows a character to learn a non-class specific class skill? I.e. I have a fighter, and Iajutsu Focus would be awesome, but I can't take enough ranks in it... and I don't like the samurai.....

There's a feat in FR - Cosmopolitan?

I have a house rule for a similar feat.

Well there are feats that allow you to take a skill (or more) as class skills. The Education feat from FRCS allows you to have all Knowledge skills as class skills for example. So though I'm not aware of a feat that let's you take any skill as a class skill, there is precedence for it as a house rule.

You would think Iajutsu Focus Would be a fighter class skill, but I can't find anything anywhere to back that up....

Heya,

Does Cosmopolitan Allow for any skill?

Yes, I believe. You get +2 and it becomes a class skill.

Wasn't there a Versitile feat from OA or Rokogan? It made two skills always class skills.....I think....

Only non-exclusive skills. So no Use Magic Device or Psionic skills, but AFAIK Iajitsu Focus is allright.

The Versatile Feat allows you to select two skills, and those skills become class skills for you. Another feat which might be useful if you have high stats all around is the Jack-of-All Trades Feat (I think that's the name out of Song & Silence) It allows you to use any non-exclusive skill (like Scry) as if it were an untrained skill.

BTW, I'll have to find the exact reference, but Iaijatsu Focus is supposed to be a trained skill.

This is from the Wizards D&D boards at this web address:

Trained only.

The text is correct.

Thanks for writing!
