Max. Skill ranks feat

[hyulf]

Thanks folks. I am aware of the Skill Focus feat which just gives the +3 (which is very helpful) but I was looking for a feat that allowed you go bypass/break the maximum skill ranks.

I saw the skill specialization in the Ultimate feats book and the Netbook of feats. It in along the vein I was looking for.

I don't have Spycraft but I will check it out.

I was asking about this feat because I want to run a lower level (1-10) and lower magic (mainly high quality crafted items) campaign. I am trying to maximize the Craft skill as much as possible.

Right now I would have for an Expert3 (human)

Human: Skill Specilization (Craft: Weaponsmith or Armorsmith or Alchemy) +2 to maximum ranks
1st: Skill focus (Craft: Weaponsmith or Armorsmith or Alchemy) +3 bonus
3rd: Metallurgy (Races of Faerun) or Savant Skill (Plot & Poison) or Master Artisan (Q. Gnome) or Master Craftsmen (Hammer & Helm)

So that would be
3rd level: 8 ranks
Skill Focus: +3
Ability Score: +0-+2

That gives +11 to +13. Not too bad for a 3rd level NPC.

The other reason I am doing this, is I want the PCs to take some of these and I wanted to see how broken it could become.

thanks for the help,
hyulf

Well, maybe there is a feat that gives +2 to craft and +2 to another skill. There are too many of those to know for sure.
