Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ranger REG" data-source="post: 3444266" data-attributes="member: 533">I'd be the first to admit that I prefer the micromanaging of skill points and ranks.I'd also say this part of the character creation process takes most of the time, even longer if you're not one to maximize ranks in a few skills at certain levels. Nevertheless, it does shaft cross-class skills. To spend TWO skill points on one rank in a cross-class skill is expensive.This rules however, allow you to choose preferred skills from the class skill list, and they automatically gain +5 bonus to their skills. They also go up +1 for every 2 character levels. For the skills you haven't chosen (virtual cross-class skills)  -- barring any exclusive skills -- they also go up, just not with the initial +5 bonus.I'd speculate when you multiclass, you simply choose the skills from the new class's skill list, and simply add +5 to it. I don't know if choosing the same skill twice from two different classes is going to be more beneficial (or too beneficial if you keep stacking the +5 bonuses per classes).</blockquote>
