Help! Feat for adding Class skill(s)

[cyrusduane]

Quick question- I swore there was a feat out there in WOTC D&D materials that alowed you to pick any skill (or x number of skills) and make it/them a class skill.

Am I Crazy and mixing in 3rd party materials? Could this be from a Dragon, and if so, which one?

My Fiance (and my memory) would greatly apperciate any help!

(Needs to be from a WOTC book, to allow her Warmage to take on Diplomacy as a class skill)

Thanks,
Cyrus

I belive FRCS has Cosmopolitan, which give you a class skill and a bonus of +2 or +3 to that skill. It must be taken at 1st level.

Cosmopolitan made a skill a class skill and gave a +2 bonus to that skill in 3.0, but it was updated to 3.5 so that it just provides skill bonuses to three skills. It still remains a [Regional] feat that must be taken at 1st level.

You might be thinking of Versatile, which was another 3.0 feat found in AEG's Rokugan that let you pick two skills to become class skills.

There's also Adaptive Learning from Races of Destiny. It's a 1st level only feat restricted to humans and dopplegangers that allows you to purchase cross class skill ranks at half cost but you're still subject to the cross class skill cap. In effect, all skills which were class skills for any of your classes is virtually always considered a class skill. Even if you don't multiclass into something with Diplomacy on its skill list it still might be useful since you won't have to spend twice as many points to get another rank.

Sorry, cyrusdane, I don't think there's any feat that'll do that for you. I think there might be some regional feats/qualities in some campaign settings that might do that, though. I'll keep looking, because I've looked for this before too.

It doesn't have to be taken at first level.

They added that restriction when upped the power of regional feats in the 3.5 conversion. It does not appear in the original version of the regional feat rules, which is where that version of Cosmopolitan is from.

I heard there is a feat in Rokugan (?), which allows you to pick two extra class skills.

There is Able Learner [RoD] for humans (1st level only), which doesn't really give you more class skills, but is otherwise very nice for characters who want more skills. Combined with taking a level of Rogue, it's pretty much like giving you a full list of class skills, tho.

Anyways, unless the DM has any problems with it, I think a feat, which simply makes one skill a class skill for a character would be completely fair.

Anyway, to answer the original question:

Quick question- I swore there was a feat out there in WOTC D&D materials that alowed you to pick any skill (or x number of skills) and make it/them a class skill.

Able Learner from Races of Destiny allows you to treat all skills as class skills for purposes of point costs, but not max ranks. Depends why your fiancee need diplomacy to be class, I suppose.

Unfortunately, Able Learner does require you to be first level (and human, if that matters).

She could also take a level of Human Paragon (from Unearthed Arcana). That allows you to pick (IIRC) 10 class skills for you Human Paragon levels, of which any one can be nominated as a class skill for all levels in all classes. I think that would cost a casting level though.

Beaten to the puch again. Ah well, at least I got in their first with Human Paragon.

Hello,

I know a feat named Heritage (in think this the name) in one of the Forgotten Realms Book 3.0, maybe the core rules i dont remember.

This provide you with one skill that will always be class skills. This have to be take at level 1, and part of a background.

For exemple someone from a noble house, always been taught diplomacy, so he pick the feat heritage and his diplomacy will always be class skills.
