So... this feat does absolutely nothing in Pathfinder because of the changes to the skill system. I wouldn't care about it all, except that it's a prerequisite for the coolest Prestige Class ever.
It's a Human racial feat that allows the character to purchase cross-class skill ranks at the normal rate of 1 rank per skill point, without changing the normal maximum rank for cross-class skills. It can only be taken at 1st level.
What should it do in Pathfinder? Or, if it's not worth converting, what other feat should take its place?
However, if you like the idea of the feat (or insist on retaining the prerequisite) simply make the feat declare all skills class skills for the character who takes the feat.
Boom, done.
yeah - that's what I'd say. Make it the "all skills = class skills" feat. It's pretty useful, and certainly not broken - it's just changing the "type" of skills, but does nothing for SP's inherently.
:shrugs:
Really minor way to show that Humans are just THAT damn good at learnin' stuff, IMO.
I'd allow it to be treated as a Class Skill as that is what it technically does.
Yeah, my thought was either "all skills = class skills" or replacing it with the Jack of All Trades feat from Complete Adventurer. (You are considered trained in all skills, but do not receive a bonus.)
