Along the lines of my revamped skill feats (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?529089-Revamped-skill-feats) (Alertness, Persuasive, etc), here's a buffed Skill Focus (HUGE power increase but remember it's only for one type of skill check, and a feat is a hefty price to pay).

Skill Focus [General]
You excel at a particular skill.

Prerequisites
4 ranks in the selected skill, 12 in the relevant ability score for that skill.

Benefit
Select a skill. Whenever you would normally be unable to take 10 on that skill, you may take 10. Whenever you would normally be able to take 10 on that skill, you may take 20. Whenever you would normally be able to take 20 on that skill, you may double your check result.

The chosen skill is always considered a class skill. Regain one skill point for each cross-class rank you have invested in the skill when you take this feat.

You never take penalties on the selected skill (e.g. the penalty to Spot checks when asleep, the penalty to skill checks from crushing despair, etc.).

The synergy bonuses granted to and by the chosen skill are doubled.

I love this! I'm going to implement it in my games! Far more valuable than a measly +3 to a skill! Though +3's add up XD
