Feat for skills?


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 32

Is there a feat (perhaps in a splat book or something) to get some extra skill ranks? I'm picturing something like Toughness but for skill ranks. If not, would it be so wrong for there to be such a feat?

There are feats that add a few points to individual skills (or Skill Focus to get a larger dip), but there isn't one as you've described.

Considering how 1HP/level is a favored class option, as is 1 skill/level, I don't see the difference between the two for a feat. Although, there are situations where those skill points would go much farther than a hit point (extra dodge on Total Defense from Acrobatics, not getting into combat due to higher stealth check, avoiding surprise round via perception, etc). You would have to house rule it, though.

Yes, there is, in Psionics Revisited.

Not quite. You get a bonus, but no ranks, like he said.

Which is good, really, since there is a maximum on skill ranks per skill.

Not that I'm currently involved in it, but is the content of Psionics allowed in Pathfinder Society games? Taking it down a notch, is it considered to be a part of the standard rules now?

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's not PFS-legal; I know I didn't mention that, it's just that that's where I do most of my Pathfinding. ("Pathfindering"?)


Psionics Revisited is by Dreamscarred Press, not Paizo.

I highly doubt that it's PFS legal.

House-Rules only, that's what I thought.
