Cleric: one class skill per domain or per god


Skills & Feats


I always ask why a cleric must be a fighter ? it does not matter the worship : every cleric gain the same skill, the same armor, the same weapons (except deity's one)

Why not give them one skill du to their god ? It's sad that a druid of nature doesn't have knowledede (nature) or survival.

Here is my suggestion : add 2 skill at the cleric spell list, at the choice of the DM, or add 1 skill / domain

Air : fly
Animal : handle animal
Charm : bluff
Trickery : Sleight of Hand
...


Well, I like the idea, although to point out:

The Druid DOES get Knowledge (Nature) and Survival
(they are a different base class than the cleric)

Fly is a class skill for any class if the character has a means to regularly fly under their own means (spell, wildshape, etc.)

Alot of domains would seem to align with skills clerics already receive anyways, so in those cases, they should probably get a +2 bonus or something.


i like this idea, IMC i give a regional / racial class- skill based on the character background which realy helps with flavour - though with the changes PF has made to the cross class skills i'd say give skill focus rather than make class skill

I also like this idea - whether it's implimented as a class skill, or a bonus to a skill, or a combination of both (class skill if it's not on the cleric list, or bonus if it is). However, to make these two options equal, the bonus should probably be +3, which is the same as class skill grants. One way to do this it to grant skill focus in the skill as a bonus feat, which would prevent a character from getting too high of a skill bonus - if it's a class skill, gets a flat +2 or +3, and then also selects skill focus as well.
