[QUOTE="DalkonCledwin, post: 5848241, member: 6680145"] Question Systole... do you always put ranks into every single skill that counts as a class skill on your character for the simple reason that it is a class skill. Or do you by chance more realistically put ranks in skills that you actually know you will use? While I will admit that Perception is by and far away the single most used skill by the classes that are usually out in the front of the group (and in some cases probably also the classes that are in the rear of the group as well) it is less often used by the more squishy members of the group that tend to stay towards the center of the group. However that was not my ultimate argument. I was just putting that potential point out there. I for example often take traits that grant bonuses in skills that I want to have a slight bonus in, but which I don't plan on taking ranks in for quite a while, This is especially true if I have a significantly high ability score in the primary attribute of the skill in question and I want to take advantage of that. It is also even more true in cases where I am playing a class with a very small number of skill points available to it and where I want to get as diverse an amount of skills with a decent score as possible. But I suppose not everyone plays with the same outlook on how to apply skill points and skill bonuses. Also I would highly suggest not to sell Diplomacy short. While it may not have applications to combat in the same way as Perception does, it does have combat applications regardless. If Ironwolf is right and it is in the Advanced Players Guide, then I believe it has already been submitted and approved for play as the entirety of the feats in the Advanced Players Guide have been approved for play in Living Pathfinder unless I am very much mistaken.
