Tyler - it's a little bit of a grey area. The way I've always played it though is that you should disregard the class skills of all other classes you have and just go by the class skills of whichever class you're levelling in at the time. So your maximum rank in those class skills is your level+3, and your maximum rank in other skills (even if they're class skills for other classes you have levels in) is half that number. This may result in you having more ranks in a skill than you're allowed to, because you maxed it out last level for a different class and you now don't have it as a class skill. In that case it's (obviously) not lowered, but neither can you raise it at all.
Each skill point you spend on a class skill gets you 1 rank in that skill. Class skills are the skills found on your character’s class skill list. Each skill point you spend on a cross-class skill gets your character 1/2 rank in that skill. Cross-class skills are skills not found on your character’s class skill list. (Half ranks do not improve your skill check, but two 1/2 ranks make 1 rank.) You can’t save skill points to spend later.
The maximum rank in a class skill is the character’s level + 3. If it’s a cross-class skill, the maximum rank is half of that number (do not round up or down).
Regardless of whether a skill is purchased as a class skill or a cross-class skill, if it is a class skill for any of your classes, your maximum rank equals your total character level + 3.
Yeah, I just saw that thread. Sorry to hear about your computer troubles. Hope that works itself out for you in the least expensive and annoying way possible, and the game'll still be here when you get back.
Hmmmm. No posts for a while now, but it seems like the ball's in your court guys.
Something up?
If you have problems with the way this is going then please do tell me about them, don't just stop posting. I know it's been slow so far, but the pacing is now entirely up to you. Want to go back to Sigil and make intricate plans to get your stuff back? Go for it. Want to storm the keep and take your stuff? Go for it. Want to just go back to Sigil and forget your stuff altogether? Then go for it, and trust in my ability to find a way to make it work.
