Sense Motive available for all Classes and PrCs?

[Steve]

I've noticed recently that Sense Motive is not listed for Classes on the Wiki. And, a little nagging thought is reminding me that I once read (?) that Sense Motive was opened up to all Classes?

If that is the case, or either way, I can update the Class Page to reflect this situation, and/or make a note on the Forums to Custom Changes that Sense Motive is open to all.

Or maybe this is already posted somewhere but I'm ignorant of its location?!? Cheers.

I'm confused, it's listed.

I'm confused, it's listed.

Where, per Class itself?

Maybe then some Classes in particular need updating? Like Monk, for example? And perhaps some Classes lack it altogether, like Spirit Shaman?

And no sense motive is not for all classes.

Okay, just lacking cross-references then. I'm on it!

Clerics don't have it but paladins do, a point I find very odd (because normally one associates priests with the intuitive ability to perceive problems before they even happen).

[Steve]

I can only say I agree with you Tsid—Classes that have Wisdom as their foundation seem natural for a Skill such as Sense Motive. Thus, I would expect Cleric and Spirit Shaman to have it as a Class Skill. But who am I to argue with D&D game designers, right? Right?!?

Vanilla D&D makes no sense.
