Making class skills more flexible

[Stalker0]

IMC, I make it where all cross class skills cost 1 rank, but the half max rank rule still applies. It allows the pcs to pick up some differing skills, but only certain classes can get really good at certain things.

One thing I've been thinking of is that, if you take Skill Focus in a skill, it should be a class skill for you, no matter what your class is. I've also tinkered with the same idea for feats like Alertness and Stealthy. After all, if you've focused enough on the skill(s) to take a feat in them, shouldn't they *be* class skills?
