Social Skills as Universal Class Skills

[Knight Of Pentacles]

Is it possible to change class skills with this new hak? If so, I think social skills should be universally considered class skills.  Number of skill points a class has per level will still dictate where skill points go so rogues are still going to have a rather large advantage.  But a fighter, wizard, whatever, should have a choice whether or not they want to dip out of class essential skills in exchange for skills that have no mechanical advantages and are purely for "rp".

There are only two kinds of people that will ever see the total of your social skills. The DMs, and you. They are never rolled in a meaningful way, nor even used in a really important scripted way outside of the DM oversight. That's why this hasn't happened yet, and it honestly doesn't need to happen at all. The DMs can and do take into consideration the level of investment a character puts into something. When they want to, anyway. I don't think adding a script too enforce the idea of How high can you get the thing, would matter all that much in the end.

There are several scripted social checks throughout the game.

In every event I have had to roll them, the DM has taken into account if it's cross classed and EFUSS skill.  If a DM want to take the time to script this it surely can't hurt but I think it's really not needed.

Why not just make social skills use EFUSS for every class that doesn't get them as class skills?  Not like certain classes use EFUSS for much anyways.
