Skilled Heritage and Class Skills

[ofMars]

Your background gives you two skills, and your class gives you one. As far as I can tell, if you want to improve those, you need to spend your skill increases on them.

Skilled Heritage gives you two skills, and automatically scales them up without spending skill increases.

Can you pick skills that you are granted by your background/class for your skilled heritage feats? in a other situations where you already have a skill when something grants you a skill, it lets you choose another for free i.e. a dedication feat. Since all this happens at first level, though, I'm assuming you don't get the same benefit, but I could be wrong.

SO lets say I'm a human fighter with 10 int and the laborer background. Between my class and background, I am trained in
Acrobatics (granted by class)
Athletics (granted by background)
Crafting
Intimidation
Medicine

If I chose Skilled Heritage, and selected Athletics and Medicine, would I get two more skills, or just the benefit of those skills automatically progressing without taking up skill increases?

Skilled heritage appears to give you only one skill at Trained tht increases to expert at level 5. I would expect you'd choose a skill you haven't got yet to gain maximum advantage from it.

There doesn't appear to be any way to take it multiple times, since it's a heritage choice for humans and not a feat.

I got skilled heritage an natural skill sort of combined, oops. Still, the maximum advantage would be to choose a different skill, but COULD I pick one I already had in order to automatically progress? I guess that would zero out eventually...

You could pick a skill your class was going to grant you (notionally ancestry happens first) and it would DTRT.

CRB page 68, Initial Proficiencies wrote:

If your class would make you trained in a skill you're already trained in (typically due to your background), you can select another skill to become trained in.

If you picked for Skilled Heritage the same skill your background grants, I'm not sure if it DTRT by RAW, though it clearly does by RAI.

BTW, while that same section agrees with you that your class trains you in at least one specific skill, it's wrong; monks just get any 4+Int. Guess I'll report that in the typos/mistakes thread.
