I feel and beleive that anybody should have the ability to learn ANYTHING as a class skill, How many points you get should still be dependent on your int mod and your class.
My greatest complaint of the old system and this is new system: why is perception (spot/search) not a class skill for a fighter? The reason for this complaint is this:
You are trained to fight, you are trained to asses the situation determine the greatest threat and attack it. If you cant spot, or see your enemy what good are you as a fighter? Is a fighter that obtuse that he cant see the danger approaching him or his party.
Yes I could spend the few points you get on doubling up to get 1 pt in perception. But it should not be!!!
Your character had a "life" before he picked up a sword and a board and struck out to find his treasure at "18". Did he just pop up out of the ground like a turnip and ah yup gonna go kill me some monsters for some loot!!! No, he/she was a child that did stuff that should be avialable in your skill tree.
Yes there are skills that are more difficult to learn but you should be able to. Skills should be an open system not closed. How many of you know more then what your current job requires because you had other life experiences? The same should apply here.
