Skill Synergies

- Skill synergies added, 5 ranks in the first give a +2 bonus on the second one, cumulative bonuses. (Bluff/Diplomacy), (Bluff/Disguise), (Bluff/Intimidate), (Bluff/Sleight Of Hand), (Knowledge Arcana/Spellcraft), (Knowledge Nobility/Diplomacy), (Sense Motive/Diplomacy), (Spellcraft/Use Magic Device), (Survival/Knowledge Nature), (Use Magic Device/Spellcraft)
Do these work both ways? or just 1st skill gives synergy to the 2nd?
ie 5 sense motive gives +2 to diplomacy, but does 5 diplomacy give +2 to sense motive as well?

Can anyone confirm that those skill synergies definitely work? Esp. the +5 Spellcraft leads to +2 UMD one?
I have a build that relies on them and a mistake here could mean rcring from the high epics...

I've noticed that, in the case of UMD, the Skill Synergie bonus is flickering on and off—sometimes a Rest will "make it work," but then if you take a Transition, it no longer applies.
Then, it'll randomly apply again.

Search should give points to Spot and vice versa as both skills require your eyes. In fact, I never saw a difference in the two skills as a DM in PnP and I condense the ability into skill called Spotting. In another game, I further combined it with the Listen skill and renamed it Sense, which encompassed any of your 5 senses.
Lifting, Run, Jump, and Climb were condense into a Athletics skill.
Not all abilities were combined, but just the one that were in the same category.

Yeah, that's what they did in Pathfinder (D&D 3.75) Spot, Listen, and Search were combined into Perception. Climb, Jump, and Acrobatics were combined into Athletics.
