Sense Motive as a Dwarven Cleric?

[Endur]

Sense Motive is probably the most useful skill in the book. You just need to remind your GM that you actually have the skill.

For now on, whenever an NPC is bluffing you, you actually have a reasonable chance to tell that he is lying.

You could pick up cosmopolitan. Its a feat that makes a cross class skill a class one and gives you +2 to the skill I believe.

True, but at the expense of a level of cleric spells

And multiclassing penalties!

Cosmopolitan sounds interesting, do you know what book it is from?

FRCS (but it's the 3.0 version, the 3.5 version does something completely different).

Rokugan also has a feat, that turns two skills into class skills. Versatile?

Thanee, what's the 3.5 version do? Haven't heard of that one.

And multiclassing penalties!

Only if you are not human. if you are human, your favored class would be cleric and you'd be allowed the paladin level. PrCs don't count for multiclassing penalties unless you have a houserule (and that would really suck, btw). But if you aren't human ... then yep - you're right! Cleric and paladin are not likely to be on many races' favored class lists!

 

[Bad Paper]

The only problem with cross-class is that clerics get so few skill points as it is, and I'm so loathe to blow them all on a skill which I won't even use that often.

So use it more often. It's handy. Heck, I sense motive when the barmaid gives me a tankard.

A Fighter in my campaign wanted Holy Liberator, but that's got steep CC skill reqs. Did he complain? No, he burned skill points! That's what they're there for! If you don't have enough skill points, then put a higher score in Intelligence.

How important is Warpriest for you, anyway? Enough to burn up five skill points? I would say not, else you would not have started this thread.

Only if you are not human.

Points at thread title.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Points at thread title.

Hey ... well ... I was just sayin' that's all.

Actually, it had been so long since I started putting input into this thread that I forgote what the thread title was. I see that now, thanks.
