[3.5] Trained Only Skills

[Thurbane]

Hi all,

Apart from the Jack of All Trades feat, anyone have a list of ways to make all (or some) trained-only skills work without investing any ranks? I know a few prestige classes get this as an ability, sometimes specific to certain skills, but I'm struggling to remember which ones.

Just a thought exercise, not for a specific build.

Cheers - T

All the knowledge skills, Autohypnosis and every profession in the world.

How do these make trained only skills available without training?

As usual, binding Naberius is the answer :smallwink:

[Chronos]

The spell Loresong, from Dragon 335, gives you a scaling competence bonus on the skill of your choice, and also lets you use it untrained.

Draconic Knowledge warlock invocation (all knowledges and spellcraft)
Naeberius vestige (any, chosen at binding)
Paimon vestige (tumble)
Buer vestige (knowledge: nature)
The Triad vestige (psicraft)
Halphax vestige (profession: siege engineer and knowledge: architecture and engineering)

[Bakkan]

Mage's Spectacles (Magic of Incarnum) get you Spellcraft, Decipher Script, and Use Magic Device

Or just take a level dip into Factotum and never worry about it.

That only works if you put at least one rank in every trained-only skill?

Which is doable, of course, but I'd rather find ways that don't involve ranks.

The Wieldskill spell (from Magic of Faerun or Players Guide to Faerun) lets you use a skill of your choice untrained.
