Savant and factotum. Both have every skill as class skills.

The exemplar prestige class also has it as a class skill for the same reason.

The human paragon and the NPC expert can also select it as a class skill. In fact the human paragon can select it as a permanent class skill.

dictionary.com's definition:
a person of profound or extensive learning; learned scholar.

So on the DnD boards this translates to (most-likely) a player-generated class that is over-powered in one if not many ways to overcome the discrepancy of actual roleplaying.

It could also just be some class that just happens to have 10+Int Mod at every level for skill points but lacks in other departments.

It's a class from the Dragon Compendium.

04-13-08, 06:24 PM IF is a non-core skill. Thus, youa ren't going to find it mentioned in any other D20 product but OA. It's essential to exactly one skill in OA, the one strike-one kill duel, and that entire premise could have been done by subbing in Concentration. IF, however, gives it an air of exotica, and your puny Western Fighters don't have this skill, while we can do everythign they can do!

So, eh. IF should be available to any disciplined warrior class you want it to be, and that should include the FIghter. As for PrC's, that's also something different. Personally, if you are going to play a mixed world adventure, I'd just drop it and sub in Concentration as a use instead, and make Iajitsu Focus a feat....that would properly reflect the skill developed for a one-strike hit.

Note the DIamond Mind manuvers in ToB has two manuvers that sub concentration checks for damage. They are basically one-strike killstrokes inspired by Iajitsu.
