Let us say I take a level in Sorcerer, and hence get Knowledge: Arcana as a class skill. I then multiclass into Fighter. This class obviously does not have Knowledge: Arcana as a class skill, but the character overall does have it as a class skill.

So, there are two possiblities:
- I get it for 1 skill point as it is a class skill ,albeit from another class.
- I get it for 2 skill points as cross-class, but still subject to the usual limit for a class skill?

Sorry if it's clearly stated somewhere, but it arose as I considered builds for a Kobold Dragon Disciple (and no, I'm not doing this build, it's just an example :P )

Thanks, that seemed the most likely to me.
