Regional Support Package 2017 Boon #3 question

Scarab Sages

Was thinking that this boon would grant Skill Unlocks in the nominated skill, but rereading, I'm unclear what it does. Says afer getting it fully "checked" I become specialized in the selected skill.

What does skill specialization reference, in rules? It really doesn't say...

skill specialization grants you the skill as a class skill

If it is already a class skill you get a +1 bonus on it.

It's in seeker of secrets.

From that out of print book? Go figure. Well, that explains why I haven't heard of it. So now I have a boon I can't use...

it was part of the core assumption when the boon was originally released at conventions

There's no reason you can't use the boon. You don't need a mechanic to reference

This is a competence bonus, so it won't stack with other competence bonuses (e.g. most skill boosting items, inspire competence).

Doh my bad its in the field guide.

skill specialization
Many of the prestige awards and recognitions or resources
that faction members purchase allow a character to become
specialized in a skill. When a PC becomes specialized in a
skill, that skill immediately becomes a class skill for her. If
the PC gains that skill as a class skill from any other source
(either before or after you purchase the prestige resource),
she gains a +1 competence bonus on those skill checks.

.... DOH's. at the competence bonus part. Tears up their boon on their kitsune

Getting something as a class skill can be a very nice boost, though. I am still looking for something that will allow my bard, Jasmine, to get a specialization in Disable Device. It's sort of become a side hobby for her after being locked in one too many times in adventures.

Hmm

That's good, at least. Still, considerably worse than I thought it was...
