Is there a trait that makes appraise a class skill?

[Tiny Coffee Golem]

there should be a trait called "skilled.'" Pick a skill. You've practiced and it becomes a class skill.

Here's a quick d20pfsrd search of them

Merchant of Katheer (Qadira)

Only one... Huh...

None in the PRD

[Jiggy]

Maybe try the Cosmopolitan feat from the APG?

This is why I just let my PCs come up with their own traits if they like. As long as it's in line with a regular traits level of power they do as they like. Saves on me having dwarves that are adopted by Chelish gnomes with a penchant for magical experimentation when the player just wanted a gnome trait and UMD as a class skill.

Not that there's anything wrong with those crazy sorts of characters, but I end up with players jumping through hoops to get traits.

Thanks, how did you do that search so easily?

Also, making a character concept around a summoner. With this concept she should have Appraise. I think this is what traits are for, to help create the back story. This skill will have minimal use for her but i'm tossing a skill point into it for the Role play sake of her character concept.

There's the regional trait Antiquities Smuggler (Osirion) from Inner Sea Primer pg 16, or Merchant's Child from pg10, at least according to the Archives of Nethys

Source Inner Sea Primer 16.
You have moved contraband relics from Osirion's elder days for years, and have learned some tricks. Choose one of the following skills: Appraise, Bluff, or Sleight of Hand. You gain a +1 trait bonus on that skill, and it is always a class skill for you.

Merchant's Child (Katapesh)P
Source Inner Sea Primer 10, Legacy of Fire Player's Guide 7
One of your close relatives was a gifted merchant, and taught you early in life how to see the innate value in any object. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Appraise checks, and Appraise is always a class skill for you.

THIS is exactly the back story, daughter of a merchant. Perfect, thanks.

PS: how do yall find this stuff without clicking on every trait listed and reading it on the SRD?

A true master of search-fu never reveals his secrets to any but his student. But since I'm not a true master, I'll tell you. I didn't search the SRD, I searched The Archives of Nethys

[Shar Tahl]

As Slim stated, AoN is a great resource. I use that site as well. You go to the traits section, then do a page search for the skill you want as a class skill.

[StreamOfTheSky]

Yeah, I wish d20pfsrd wasn't so freaking segmented by links.

You can just go to the Archives of Nethys site, use Ctrl + F, type in "appraise" and just hit enter. If only AoN had all the traits d20pfsrd had, it's so much more user-friendly. :(

You open this page and then just Find On Page for whatever you want. You can even download it as a CSV, import it into Excel, and then do more sophisticated searching based on words in columns.

[StreamOfTheSky]

Ah, the database pages. I have IE, it never seems to work in that browser. Such as just now when I tried.

[Cheapy]

Works fine in Firefox :)
