One of the things I thought was STUPID in all editions of D&D was the idea of a "class skill list" that as a member of a certain class, you could only access certain skills. Perception? Profession? These are things that ALL CLASSES should have access to.
"But that would let fighters learn about Arcane Knowledge stuff"
So what. You have a fighter who chose to read books about magic instead of how to craft weapons-- is letting something like roleplaying & creativity into the character creation process necessarilty a bad thing?
I can understand some classes being more skilled than others, but I think that skills should be available at full value regardless of what class you are (class would just determine how many skill choices you get-- not what list you get to choose from (it is already a small list as is).
