[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5837498, member: 35909"] Thanks. I was planning on such things for UMD. One to use rogue's int to set save DC. Another to use rogue level as the CL against any foe who is flanked or lost dex to AC. Maybe another to have UMD replicate some functions of Spellcraft. I don't know, IME as a high level rogue its awkward to try and walk into a shop and request scrolls of dim door or a wand of grease or whatever and verify thats what it is when you have no spellcraft. Not every rogue has the luxury of a pet wizard to go shopping with / examine ill gotten gains. And yet, rogue's somehow supposed to obtain and use all these things by the rules she has no real means to ID. Don't think rogue getting all class skills is a good idea, though. Too cheesy for dipping. Especially in PF, where getting it as a class skill and dropping a single rank in is all you need to benefit. You could do a similar thing in 3E w/ Factotum + Able Learner feat but a) that cost a feat! and b) Having it as a class skill in and of itself didn't much matter if you didn't actually max that sucker out, draining your skill points. Doing that in PF would be too cheesy for dippers. I could ammend the every 3 levels ability to either gain skill focus or gain a class skill, choose which each time (could even do one of each option at a given level) maybe. [/QUOTE]
