Skill formula to minimize first level rogue problem

[elnopintan]

I'd like to give a new formula to calculate skill points for trained skills:
3 + (class level with class skill) + (class levels with cross-class skill/2) + ability modifier + racial modifier.

Example:
rogue 1 / wizard 3 / ranger 2 / warrior 5:
Stealth (trained): 3 + 3 (rogue + ranger) + 8/2 (warrior + wizard) = 7

I other systems:
Alfa document
Stealth (trained): 3 + 11 = 14

What do you think?
This can make rogues more skillmonkey than previous system, and this method doesn't need bookkeeping.

Stealth (trained): 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 NOT 7

The '3' for training still weighs in heavily here.

Ok but weights much more in the original system:
Another example
stealh (trained) rogue 1 / warrior 10

Original system: 3 + 11 = 14
New system: 3+1+5 = 9
