Expert skill at level 2?


Rules Discussion


While looking at the skill feats at level 2, I noticed that ALL of them require you to be expert. However, I can't find any way to actually become expert by level 2, as skill increases for all classes are at level 3.

I might be missing something, but it seems weird to me to have feats with requirements no one can achieve when they become available.

Rogues can become expert at level 2, but it’s probably there to also future proof something that might grant early Expert in a Skill.

Actually, most of the Archetypes offer advancing a key skill (in addition to a related lore skill) up to Expert if they are already trained at the point the archetype is bought. So expert at 2nd level isn't hard to get. It just requires one of the archetypes as introduced in the Lost Omens World Guide.

So I guess a little less than a month from core's release, however they'd originally intended them to be released together.

Rogues can be Experts at level 2. It also looks (based on those in the LOWG) like most non-multiclass Archetypes will grant the ability to get to Expert in a specific Skill at level 2.

Some of the new archetypes that you can take at level 2 will boost skills to expert if you already had them at trained.
