Is it possible to be expert in a skill at 1st level?
The rules for skills say that one can become expert in a skill at any level but I fail to find a documented case for level 1, is there one in the Core Rulebook?
Would it be unbalancing to grant an expert ranked skill at 1st level for a homebrew class, such as the Artificer? He would need Expert rank in Crafting and the Magical Crafting feat at 1st level in a way similar to the Alchemist.
Thanks.
Actually, it is prohibited by a specific rule. It is outlined in each class' rules when it talks about the first and subsequent skill increases. It states in each that you are able to increase skill proficiencies from trained to expert at third level, expert to master at 7th, and at 15th level master to legendary.
