Of Special Note

Initiate of Shar - City of Splendors: Waterdeep pg 144-5 - adds bluff and hide and several spells, must be able to cast 1st level divine spells and patron deity Shar according to the text on pg 145.
Now according to the table on p 144, you add Knowledge (arcana) and Knowledge (dungeoneering), several new spells, must be Blackguard level 1 or cleric level 3 with patron deity Shar.

And it should be noted that according to the primary source rule, text trumps table, so the text version should be used.

Initiate of Shar was also printed in Champions of Ruin, and there both text and table agreed on Bluff/Hide and prerequisites.

Although this might well be considered invalid since Champions of Ruin was from May 2005, and City of Splendors: Waterdeep is from July 2005

Kingdoms of Kalamar

Skill Prodigy - Kingdoms of Kalamar: Player's Guide - gives you class skills equal to your int mod every time you take it

Kingdoms of Kalamar was licensed for D&D 3.0, but not for 3.5
But it was updated to 3.5 here and here.

Imbrue spell – Dragon 336 (Sorcerer/Wizard 9) allow to bind Elemental or Outsider (called in by planar binding) to a mortal host for 1 day/level

the host has access to all the bound creature's Intelligence-based skills.

Understand Device – PGF (Initiate of Gond 3) - You can make untrained Disable Device and Open Lock checks as if you had 1/2 rank in each skill

Wieldskill – PGF (Initiate of Gond 1) - This spell imbues the subject with a touch of divine guidance, granting it a +5 competence bonus on a skill check of your choice. A subject that has no ranks in the designated skill functions as if it had 1/2 rank in the skill and therefore is considered trained in it

When Two Become One - Oriental Adventures (Shugenja 3) - As a joint creature, you and your horse share all your skills, feats, and abilities. Horses have Listen and Spot as class skills.
For more horse breeds see Champions of Valor pgs 153-7, Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene pgs 197-9, Warhorse, Valenar

Embrace the Wild - Masters of the Wild/Savage Species - This spell allows you to adopt the nature and some abilities of a wild animal. You retain your own form, but you gain the natural and extraordinary senses of the creature you choose, as well as its skill ranks (though these do not stack with any ranks you already have in the same skills), for the duration of the spell. Thus, depending on your choice of animal, you could gain blindsight, scent, and ranks in Listen, Spot, or other skills. Embrace the wild does not grant you the animal’s natural attacks, methods of locomotion, feats, or non-sensory extraordinary abilities, such as trample or improved grab.

Notes:

• I edited skills a bit - to make them more 3.5-like; Innuendo is a 3.0 skill, but I left it - so lists wouldn't be one skill short
• RAW suggest to swap possible campaign-inappropriate skills (such as Computer Use) for some others (there will be gone all those Innuendo entries); replacement skills should be appropriate - how the heck a cab driver got access to Knowledge (occult)? -, and Cthulhu Mythos skill is off-limits
• Also, RAW allow to "merge" Profession templates by replacing part of skills from one template with skills from another: for example, "Criminal"+"Technician"="Computer hacker", or "Doctor"+"Soldier"="Combat medic"; "Archeologist" with different Knowledge skills may be "Geologist" or "Chemist"
• By the RAW, you can take one of those templates at the character generation, thus, in 3.5 terms, it's, probably, mean "LA: +0, but only one"

any other suggestions or items, please post away

[Thurbane]

Good stuff, this is a great resource.

[Bullet06320]

thanks thurbane, could you proof read it for me, make sure nothing got lost in the migration

[Thurbane]

Had a read over, everything seems OK.

Might be missing something obvious, but where is Human Paragon and/or Silverwood PrCs mentioned?

listed in the 3rd post, still not sure how to classify them, but they are there, right above the few Ravenloft things I've found so far

[Jowgen]

The Human Regions reference seems to point to the Ecology of the Kraken article. That is what Dragon mag 334 p. 60 has. Am I reading it wrong?

EDIT: Found it, it's dragon 315.

[Bullet06320]

DOH!!!!!!!!!!! not sure how I got that wrong, but its fixed now

and just a reminder, spot is NOT a class skill of mine, lol

[Troacctid]

Was reading through Dragon #351 and found some more ACFs.

For the sorcerer:
Blood of Eberron: Add Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Heal, and Knowledge (nature). Remove Bluff.
Blood of Khyber: Add Intimidate and Knowledge (dungeoneering).
Blood of Siberys: Add Diplomacy and Knowledge (the planes).

For the ninja:
Historical ninja class skills: Replace Craft with Perform or Profession.

Also, the Slave Seeker feat from Dragon #352 makes Gather Information always a class skill.

[RedWarlock]

UA's Skill Knowledge isn't just for the variant skill system, it's a generally-applicable feat.

"Choose any two skills from one of your current classes' skill lists. You now know these skills as class skills. Special: Instead of choosing two class skills, you may choose one cross-class skill (whether you already know it or not) and learn it, treating it as a class skill from that point forward."

It specifies in the text before the feat that "In this case, the feat only allows you to designate a cross-class skill as a class skill (since you already know all your class skills)." If it was only for use with that skill system, they would only bother including the 'special' part, because the main text wouldn't even be useable.

Outside of the variant skill system, there is no such thing as a "known skill," and "learning" a skill has no rules meaning.

If it was only for use with that skill system, they would only bother including the 'special' part, because the main text wouldn't even be useable.

This only spells out how the feat works with the Level-Based Skill variant—another variant skill system that does not use skill ranks. It doesn't apply to the normal skill rules.

those was already there, but I did add the lose bluff to Blood of Eberron

you got it backwards, replaces perform or profession with craft, but added it to the variant class section

and added

"Substitute Perform or Profession for Craft" means lose Craft, gain the other one. It wouldn't make much sense otherwise, since ninjas already have Craft.

WOW I so totally misread that, probly cuz they go on to speak about craft poison at the end of the paragraph
that what I get for trying to update things after a 12 hour shift, lol

fixed it now

[Bullet06320]

added in the Templates section
Half-Celestial - Treat skills from the base creature’s list as class skills, and other skills as cross-class for RHD
Half-Dragon - Treat skills from the base creature’s list as class skills, and other skills as cross-class for RHD

and Half-Fiend - Treat skills from the base creature’s list as class skills, and other skills as cross-class for RHD
that I put above the links to the other web articles for Half-Fiend

and working on the Playable Monsters with RHD Skills, going through the SRD plus some I had gathered from Dragon Magazine previously so far

and found a few things for the Ravenloft section

[Troacctid]

Treat skills from the base creature’s list as class skills, and other skills as cross-class for RHD

That just means "Skills that are already class skills for you are still class skills for you." It doesn't add any new class skills.

and working on the Playable Monsters with RHD Skills, going through the SRD plus some I had gathered from Dragon Magazine previously so far

Class skills for RHD don't carry over to class levels, so there's no point listing them. It's the same as multiclassing.

Granted, something like a comprehensive version of the table from page 42 of the Player's Handbook including all base classes as well as prestige classes and monster classes could actually be pretty useful—but I think it's outside the scope of this thread.

your getting skills for the race your playing, yes they are only for the RHD, but a build could be based off of certain skills or lead to meeting the prereq for a Prc.
maybe it is a little outside the original intent of the thread, but I got stuck on the idea, and feel it needs to be included

[Troacctid]

It's exactly the same as getting skills via multiclassing, though. It's basically like putting "Factotum: Gain all skills as class skills" on the list. It's misleading.

And half-celestial and half-dragon most definitely should not be listed. They do not give you any additional class skills. Your class skills with and without the template are the same.

I'd be careful with that...because the tauric template exists and it's a mess.

[Troacctid]

The Infused prestige class in Dragon #321 gives you Survival as a class skill for all your classes at level 2 if you choose the hound archon.

[Thurbane]

Should we include PrCs that have a skill list of X skills plus "any skill from a previous class". I can think of one or two or that have this (Survivor and High Handcrafter from memory. Maybe Legacy Champion too - AFB?).

they fit in that oddball category of WTF do I do with these, like these 3 we already have
Silverwood Arcanist (PrC) - Skilled Rider (Ex): any future classes you take after one level in this PrC always have Ride as an additional class skill

Silverwood Outrider (PrC) - Skilled Rider (Ex): any future classes you take after one level in this PrC always have Ride as an additional class skill

Human Paragon - Adaptive Learning (Ex): At 1st level, a human paragon can designate any one of his human paragon class skills as an adaptive skill. This skill is treated as a class skill in all respects for all classes that character has levels in, both current and future

its weird, it does give you new odd ways of finding skills, any ideas for a category name?
we have enough of them, its worth it to list I think

I'd be careful with that...because the tauric template exists and it's a mess.

we already got tauric listed, I didn't make it, I just finds ways to exploit it like a good little murderhobo err gamer, lol

And half-celestial and half-dragon most definitely should not be listed. They do not give you any additional class skills. Your class skills with and without the template are the same.

after reading it and contemplating it, I'm beginning to concur with you, all the combos I looked at so far only give the skills to RHD, and most of the ones Ive looked at don't have RHD, so there would be no new skills. I'm sure there are builds with the right critter that could take advantage of it, but I would like a few other opinions on it first.
and I would like to note, most of the templates listed only give the skills to RHD anyways

[Thurbane]

Maybe just under the heading "Other" or "Special Mention"?

OK, so I've found:
Survivor (SS, p.89): treat any previous class skill as a class skill for Survivor.
Legacy Champion (WoL p.19): has it's own skill list, an any other skill that has been a class skill is also considered a class skill for Legacy Champion.

I was misremembering High Handcrafter (Shackled City hardcover, p. 340): similar to Expert or Human paragon, it let's you pick any 6 skills as class skills (in additional to it's base skill list) - so it's not really in line for this thread.

[Bullet06320]

we now have

Silverwood Arcanist (PrC) - Skilled Rider (Ex): any future classes you take after one level in this PrC always have Ride as an additional class skill

Legacy Champion - WoL p 19 - has it's own skill list, and any other skill that has been a class skill is also considered a class skill for Legacy Champion

Infused - Dragon 321 p 16 - Survival is always a class skill for all your classes at level 2 if you choose the hound archon

[Troacctid]

Half-celestial, half-fiend, and half-dragon don't give any skills to anything. They leave your class skills unchanged.

Affiliation score of 11-15:
Knowledge (history) and Perform (oratory) become class skills.

That's a good find - Perform can be a tricky one to get if the Apprentice feats aren't in play.

updated that one, thanks for the find
