So I tried searching this question before I asked but couldn't find answer.
Regarding Skill points at 1st level : For a rogue I get 8 + my int mod which is a 0 due to my score being a 10. So using this the number of skill points i should have 8 skill points to spend right ?
Why on some guides do i see that this number has to be x4 ? Was this an old rule or was this in regards to something else ?
Any help would be appreciated
With no int modifier, you get 8 skills points for a rogue. That is correct.
Not sure where the x4 is coming from. Can you provide a link to where you've seen it?
the X4 on first level was a 3.5 thing. In pathfinder you get a +3 bonus when you put the first rank into a class skill.
So you'll have 8 skill point.
The x4 at first level is an older rule from 3.5.
Yes and Yes.
the x4 was from the 3.0 rules which has since been modified for pathfinder. I would recommend you avoid guides from the 3.0 as much has changed and stick with guides using Pathfinder only.
Kinda figured it was an older thing , so I'll refrain from looking at older guides.
Thank you guys for your help !
