New character Skill ranks above 1?


Rules Questions


I'm trying to find a reference in the rules/books that says you can't have more than 1 rank in any particular Skill at lvl 1. Could someone provide me with a quote or page number?

Example: I have a new character with 9 Skill points to apply and I can't put all 9 in Ride.

Thanks.

Acquiring Skills

Each level, your character gains a number of skill ranks dependent upon your class plus your Intelligence modifier. Investing a rank in a skill represents a measure of training in that skill. You can never have more ranks in a skill than your total number of Hit Dice. In addition, each class has a number of favored skills, called class skills. It is easier for your character to become more proficient in these skills, as they represent part of his professional training and constant practice. You gain a +3 bonus on all class skills that you put ranks into. If you have more than one class and both grant you a class skill bonus, these bonuses do not stack.


Thanks. I saw that and I guess I confused Hit Points with Hit Dice.
