To what exactly does Skill Focus (Craft) apply?

[Dustin Ashe]

I couldn't find a clear answer to my question. When taking the Skill Focus feat, one must pick a skill and apply it to that skill only. But if I pick Craft to receive the +3 bonus, do I need to specify a particular Craft (i.e. alchemy, traps, etc.) or does it grant +3 to any Craft skill check?

And what about Skill Focus (Profession)?

Thanks!

Yes you have to pick a particular skill and craft, because each of those is a separate skill. So skill Focus has to be taken as "Skill Focus Craft (BasketWeaving)" not skill focus to every Craft skill I pick up. The exact same thing applies to Profession as well.

Alrighty. That's what I thought. Just wanted a second (and third and fourth, etc.) opinion.

And presumably a different answer as well. :)
