Duplicate Ancestry / Background skill feats

[Nik Gervae]

I know that you can swap out a duplicate skill from a background, but do you do that with skill feats as well? For example, I am thinking of making an Anvil Dwarf with the Tinker background. Both of those grant the Specialty Crafting skill feat. Can I change one of them because they are both the same? If not I can go with some other background I guess, but the Engineering Lore is quite apt for the concept.

You can not select a different feat. You can pick up Engineering Lore if you get a duplicate skill training, which you likely will for Crafting with whichever background you choose.

[Nik Gervae]

Ah ok, so I will pick a different background with the stat boosts I need and a different skill feat. Silliness though.

Thanks!

There is nothing stopping you from selecting two different "things" that you can use Specialty Crafting for.

You can not have the same feat twice unless it specifically says you can. Specialty crafting doesn't say you can.

Also, Anvil Dwarf already let's you take two things.

Ah, so I could actually not be able to take three things!

:-D

It's fine, I went with Laborer. Inventors aren't exactly starved for skill choices.
