The game is also designed to give you thousands of options to expand your class and get other abilities. But the games is also about CHOICES and PRICES to pay.Those with a class skill can choose to improve at any rate between 0 and 3+1/level.Those with a cross class skill can choose to improve at any rate between 0 and 1.5+1/2levels.There's lots of freedom compared to BAB and ST. A wizard might never use its BAB at mid-high levels, but it cannot choose to have it even worse for some compensation. At least with skills it's all up to you: you can max out a few skills or spread the bonus in more, depending and how you intend to better use those skills.I have spent so many times skill points in a cross class skill: Listen, Spot, Tumble, Hide, Move Silently, Knowledge and Speak Language being the most common. Taking a cross class skill and USE IT is more useful than maxing out a skill and go too far beyond how much you really need.</blockquote>
