Do Skills stay Class Skills if you level in another class?
Basically, does taking a class permanently add its skills to your list, or just for the levels you're in the class?

Re: Do Skills stay Class Skills if you level in another class?
Yes; but only for max ranks, if you took a level in say ranger you would always have Survival as a class skill for the purpose of max ranks (IE character level + 3) but if you took levels in... wizard you would have to buy them at a 2:1 rate in your wizards level.
somewhat counter-intuitive in my opinion...

The system is ballanced, otherwise everyone would multiclass into Rouge into order to get most of the skills as class skills.

This is what makes Able Learner such a good feat...effectively, every class skill you ever had becomes a class skill forever (on a 1:1 ratio).

Re: Do Skills stay Class Skills if you level in another class?
Indeed. Heck, even your cross class skills are still 1:1, but your max ranks suffers the normal cap (level+3)/2. Originally Posted by dsmiles

Re: Do Skills stay Class Skills if you level in another class?
No. They're cross-class skills.
Your max ranks for a skill are based on whether you have a single level in a class with that skill as a class skill. That doesn't make it a class skill for every class.There's no wrong way to play. - S. John Ross

Think about it this way: Originally Posted by Dusk Eclipse

And that makes little sense.If a tree falls in the forest and the PCs aren't around to hear it... what do I roll to see how loud it is?
Is 3.5 a fried-egg, chili-chutney sandwich?
