Dragons & Class Skills Query

[Buddha the DM]

On the skill list below, the ones that I know for certain that are class skills for Silver Dragons, are marked with an asterisk. Now what I'd like to know is are Intimidate, Listen, Search, Spellcraft, and Spot class skills for dragons?

*Bluff
*Concentration
*Diplomacy
*Disguise
Intimidate
*Jump
*Knowledge (Arcana)
*Knowledge (Religion)
Listen
Search
*Sense Motive
Spellcraft
Spot

From the SRD:

Skills: All dragons have skill points equal to (6 + Int modifier, minimum 1) x (Hit Dice + 3). Most dragons purchase the following skills at the maximum ranks possible: Listen, Search, and Spot. The remaining skill points are generally spent on Concentration, Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Intimidate, Knowledge (any), Sense Motive, and Use Magic Device at a cost of 1 skill point per rank. All these skills are considered class skills for dragons. (Each dragon has other class skills as well, as noted in the variety descriptions.)

Skills: Bluff, Disguise, and Jump are considered class skills for silver dragons.

Out of the MM, Spellcraft is a class skill only for blue dragons, amazingly.

Thanks.. Don't know how I missed all of that. That doesn't seem right, about spellcraft, even though it is.

Yeah, it's a wierd change from 3.0...

"Dragons that can cast spells have the Spellcraft skill for free at 1 rank her Hit Die, provided they have an Intelligence bonus of at least +1 (Intelligence score 12+)."

I don't particularly like that change.
