|reason=Since its class features are singlemindedly focused on skill use, we cannot ignore here what is ignored for most other classes: UMD and Diplomacy are incredibly strong features. UMD use makes a character able to function as VH, but Diplomacy abuse actually makes a character overpowered even by VH standards. At level 5, a half-elf Crackerjack is capable of taking 10 to get a 34 (8 ranks, 5 favored skill, 6 synergy, 4 charisma, 3 skill focus, 2 mwk tool, 2 negotiator, 2 racial, 2 contemplation) when rushing Diplomacy to a full-round action. The first use will make the enemy Indifferent, ending combat. The second use will make them Helpful, turning them into a new ally. At level 9, their ability to take 20 on it lets them get an automatic 53 as a full-round action -- the first use catapults the foe all the way from Hostile to Helpful, and the second makes them Fanatic. So this class breaks the game on a Pun-Pun scale at level 9, and that's not even using a single bit of cheese or anything outside the SRD.

And if it ''doesn't'' choose Diplomacy or UMD (or UPD, I guess) as its favored skill, this class is useless in combat. Although it might be amusing to see one choose Jump. WHEEEEEEE!
