Ok, I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere at some time, and my search skills are simply lacking. Please forgive me if the answer is published somewhere and I am just blind.
My question is this: Would a magic item that grants a competance bonus to a trained only skill allow a character without ranks to use that skill?
For example, would Wings of Flying, which grant a competance bonus to the Fly skill, allow a character with no ranks in Fly to use the skill at the stated bonus (+ ability modifiers & ACP as appropriate) when using the item?
My instincts are torn on this. On one hand I think, 'Duh, it's a trained only skill. No it can't be used'. However, another part of me thinks, 'but it's a competance bonus, implying that the item magically imparts some knowledge or otherwise simulates a level of training in the skill. Yes it can be used'.
Thanks!
