Feat to gain a class skill?

[Artoomis]

Is there a feat out there (WotC only) that will treat a skill as a class skill even though it's not on your class list?

An eaxmple: Bards do not get Spot as a class skill. Is there a feat that would let me add Spot as a class skill so that my PCs max skill ranks could be level +3?

Edit: I did not find one in WotC's feat index (Feat Index), but I may have missed it if it is there. I thought there was one, but maybe not.

I thought there was one in the 3.0 FRCS, Cosmopolitan? Been a while since I've looked there. I know it has educated which gives access to two knowledges and a bonus on each IIRC.

Hmm. There's Able Learner from Races of Destiny - I think that gives you all skills as class skills for buying ranks but not number of skill ranks (still treated as cross-class for that). Then there's Flexible Mind from Dragon 326 - that gives you two skills as class skills and you gain a +1 bonus in each.

The Education feat from the 3.5 ed Player's Guide to Faerûn makes all Knowledge skills class skills.

I think your right, but it is a human only feat that must be taken at 1st level.

Hi!

Maybe you get what you want here:

Able Learner: Skill ranks cost only 1 skill point, even if X-classed; Races of Destiny, page 150 [1st level Human/Doppleganger only]

City Slicker: Disguise, Forgery, Gather Info, and Kn (local) are Class Skills; Races of Destiny, page 150 [1st level only]

Arcane Insight: Kn (arcana) = Class Skill; Initiate Feat in Races of Destiny, page 154 [Cleric only]

Dread Tyranny: Intimidate = Class Skill; Initiate Feat in Races of Destiny, page 154 [Cleric only]

Far Horizons: Climb, Jump, and Swim = Class Skills; Initiate Feat in Races of Destiny, page 155 [Cleric only]

Whispered Secrets: Listen and Spot = Class Skills; Initiate Feat in Races of Destiny, page 155 [Cleric only]

Draconic Heritage; Black = Hide; Blue = Listen; Green = Move Silently; Red = Intimidate; White = Balance; Brass = Gather Info; Bronze = Survival; Copper = Hide; Gold = Heal; Silver = Disguise; Complete Arcane, page 77 [Sorcerer 1st level only]

Enjoy!

Hi again!

Maybe you have the option/opportunity to take a Racial Substitution Level [Races of Stone, Races of the Wild, Races of Destiny] if you aren't a human. Sometimes these RSLs have a skill in addition to the normal skills appropriat for the core class. I.e.: The Half-efl Fighter RSL [Races of Destiny, page 157] has Bluff, Diplomacy, and Sense Motive as ADDITIONAL class skills to the fighter class.

Enjoy!

Thanks, everyone. I have it figured out.

Guerilla scout from heroes of battle gives you spot and listen as class skills (plus some other benefit... I forget what).

Guerilla fighter (IIRC) does the same for hide and move silent. I like Heroes of battle...
