I have attempted to find a clarification of the concept of Pathfinder PrC class requirements but haven't been able to so I'm turning to you guys if you don't mind...

On p.52 of the Pathfinder beta there is a sidebar that deals with the concept of prestige class requirements, scaling 3.5 content to be in line with the difference in the way that skill points are awarded in Pathfinder.

The question is: Have the Pathfinder RPG prestige classes been made with this modification already applied to them, or does the sidebar in the beta playtest apply to all prestige classes, even the pathfinder prestige classes?

If the former is the case, which would make sense superficially, the second question is: are you rewarded for having a required skill as a class skill only if you are picking a non-pathfinder prestige class?

If the latter is the case, and this skill adjustment should be made to all prestige classes, including those in the web enhancement, perhaps there should be *two* sidebars regarding prestige classes, one general one which identifies how things like class skills affect your entry into a prestige class, and a separate, specific one for modifying non-pathfinder prestige classes to be in line with the new pathfinder skill point model.

Thanks in advance for the clarification, or if this has been dealt with elsewhere, a nudge in the direction of that ruling would also be appreciated.
