[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 1402268, member: 11987"] The SRD is pretty clear on multiclass and maximum skills ranks. "Skills: If a skill is a class skill for any of a multiclass character’s classes, then character level determines a skill’s maximum rank. (The maximum rank for a class skill is 3 + character level.) If a skill is not a class skill for any of a multiclass character’s classes, the maximum rank for that skill is one-half the maximum for a class skill." I believe that if you gain skill points from a class you use that class's class skill list when spending the skill points. I the closest passage I could find in the SRD was this (I can explain why I think this supports my view if you wish). I think there may be a clearer passage in the PHB but I don't have mine with me right now. "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." [/QUOTE]
