Make skill focus feats class skills when taken.

This would be a big buff to Rangers.

Less so to Barbs and Druids.

(Wizards should be in here somewhere)(Or Harpers)

Everyone else it would help, but only slightly.

And everyone else who's not maxed their toons?

Heck - People will still take Skill Focus: UMD to get Heal, GH, Raise Deat etc. those coupla levels earlier {You know I loathe the use of End-Game relevancy to disparage every suggestion right?}.

Actually, he was disparaging the disparaging of the suggestion.

First the comment was required that skill focus UMD would become a required feat.
Then the response was made that with +8 (at end game) it really was not needed.

While your point about focusing on the end game does still stand, he was actually defending the OP suggestion in an enemy of my enemy kinda way.

well the feat could be coded to take an automatic one point into that skill each level thereafter and linked to intelligence rather than by class, which would make the feat permanent.

The OP idea would be nice. Linking the skill to intelligence would be way over powered... and yes, I say that because it would help my favorite build a whole lot.

Well since you are sacrifing a feat to get it that sounds fair to me.
