Skill Ranks

[ChuckSC6568]

Each level, your character gains a number of skill ranks dependent upon your class plus your Intelligence modifier.

Ok. I've got that, but...

Each character begins play with a single favored class of his choosing—typically, this is the same class as the one he chooses at 1st level. Whenever a character gains a level in his favored class, he receives either + 1 hit point or + 1 skill rank.

Now, is the possible + 1 skill rank for a level in one's favored class in addition to the previously mentioned level/Intelligence modifier skill ranks? If that IS the case, then I could feasibly pick Fighter at 1st level as my favored class, never pick another class except fighter, and I could still get that additional skill rank each time I gained a level of Fighter? Also, would that favored class + 1 skill rank apply at 1st level?

For example, say I've got a human first level Fighter with an Intelligence score of 12, and I pick Fighter at first level as my favored class, I could feasibly get 5 skill points per level, correct?

2 for Fighter base.
1 for Intelligence bonus
1 for Human bonus
1 for favored class bonus

Sorry for repeating myself. I'm getting back into the game after at least a two year absence and I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

yes also note that the favord class bonus and human bonus is added after int and base is sumed together. Thus a Human fighter always gets 2 or 3 skill ranks no matter what his int is.

example human fighter with 6 int gets 2-2 =0 but rules state you always get 1 per level no matter what. So 2-2=+1 then you added +1 for being human = 2 and if you choose favorite class option you add the other 2+1=3 SKR and James clearfiyed this a few months ago.
