1st Level Feats / Skills Confusion


Skills, Feats, Equipment & Spells


Hello, I’m still trying to figure out the “Feats/ Skills” when starting out at 1st level.

I’m making a Half-Elf Sorcerer. I have 5 skill points (my INT mod is 0).

Can I place these in:

1) armor or weapon proficiency [wanted to learn the rapier and wear leather.]

2) Also can I put two points into one skill like Diplomacy or Acrobatics etc..?

Reason I ask this is, if I take the "gifted speaker" from my Half-Elf, Im trained in diplomacy, so could I place one of my 5 points into diplomacy (basically go from Trained to Expert)

thanks

Nope, skills only. Armor & weapon & Perception proficiencies are each their own thing.

No, because you don't have 5 proficiency rank increases to distribute, you have 5 "this is now trained". Making something trained twice doesn't do anything more than making it trained once.


thank you
