Would it break Pathfinder to award bonus skill points based off of other stats? You would get 1/2 your stat bonus as skill ranks for any skill you add that stat to. So if you have a high CHA, you get bonus skills you can only spend on CHA skills. If you have a high WIS, you get bonus skills you can spend on WIS skills. If you have a high STR, you get bonus STR skill points. Similar with DEX. INT still lets you train in any skill, not just INT skills.
So say you have a 18 STR, 13 INT Human Fighter with Intimidating Prowess. He has 2 base skill ranks, 1 rank from being a Human. He also has 1 bonus rank from having +1 INT, as normal. He has +4 STR, which means he gets 2 (4÷2) bonus ranks for STR skills, namely Climb and Swim. However, since Intimidating Prowess lets him add his STR to Intimidate, he can spend his 2 Strength ranks in some combination of Climb, Swim, and Intimidate.
