Skill training (the feat) and skill training when levelling up both seem to simply state "You become trained in the skill of your choice.". Lore skills in Archives of Nethys and the Skills Rule page do not specify any particular rules on training into a lore skill. My GM says that he thought at one point the feat "Additional Lore" was designed to give you access to a lore, without the automatic levelling. Archives of Nethys does not show any legacy content with that.
When creating an Elf Detective Mastermind Rogue with Free Archetype Investigator, I had an overabundance of skill points. The only solution I could think of was to train into a lore but could not find any place to see whether that is supported. Due to my GM saying the old version of Additional Lore did not have scaling, he said that will not be supported unless I get a ruling from Paizo.
Pathbuilder (which I know is not directly owned or controlled by Paizo) does allow the training I am attempting to do.
Can you train into a lore skill with levelups or general skill training from picking up an archetype?
