Hi all,

Hoping someone might able to point me in the right direction here...

In PF1e, intelligence increases at later levels retroactively granted additional skill ranks.

Does a similar sort of logic still apply to PF2e? Does increase to intelligence give a character additional trained skills? Or does the character's intelligence score only factor in at first level and first level only?


The description of the Potent trait (a trait on certain magic items, namely the ones that boost stats) certainly suggests that it applies retroactively, but unfortunately that is literally the only place in the entire book where it is so much as hinted at.


It isn’t clear. I’ll be giving them retroactive skills for boosted intelligence. I’ll also give them the language when they hit Int14 as well.


And hopefully any clarification will be worded to apply to Con for hit points too
