Craft skill with no ranks earning money?!

[ComicJam]

Last night, a player in our miniature PFS group was arguing (in a good way I must add) that as the Craft skill is not marked as 'Trained Only' in the PHB, and thus his Dwarf could earn money by carving gems in between PF missions/adventures without having any ranks in the skill. Is this right?

My personal thoughts are that you choose your craft when you put in ranks into the skill - without doing so, you are not skilled at crafting.

Is it possible to get an official answer to this?
I hope this does not sound too daft... :/

Cheers! :D

I think it says in the PFS player's guide it says that you must have ranks in it.. I'm at work, so can't confirm though

It says "If your character has any Craft, Perform, or Profession skills", they can earn money. To me, that means "If your character has any [..] skill ranks", but there's some room for weaseling there. :-)

Yeah, its the weaseling that I'm trying to sort out/remove. ;)

Cheers! :D

This one was actually answered already. This thread:

So, no skill ranks, no earning money.

Thanks for that, Navdi! I missed that thread.
