Help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to create a Dwarven Expert lvl 4.
In PF rulebook it says 'The expert can choose any 10 skills to be class skills.'
Skill Ranks per Level: 6 + Int modifier.
So let's say his intelligence is 12 so its a +1 modifier.
Does this mean 7 skill points per level - so 28 ranks in total?
Does putting ONE rank in one of the '10 class skills' give a +3 modifier every time up to a hitdice of D8?
So 8 ranks would make a modifier of +24 ? This seems wrong and overpowered.
Can someone explain to me where I'm going wrong with this, please.
The +3 is only applied once, if you put one rank in a class skill, it look like this:
1 (rank) + 3 (class skill bonus) + (let say) 2 (Ability modifier) = +6
Now 8 ranks:
8 (rank) + 3 (class skill Bonus) + "2" (ability modifier) = +13
Trained bonus is a one time only. If you have at least 1 rank in a skill, and it's a class skill, you gain a +3 one time Trained bonus to it.
Example :
6 + INT (12 int) = 7 per level.
7 * 4 = 28 ranks.
He can have up to 4 ranks in a skill.
If he chose Knowledge(Nature) as a class skill, and put 4 ranks into it, his skill would be : 4 (Ranks) + 3 (Trained) + 1 (Int) = 8.
Also note that you cannot have more ranks (before adjustment) than you have level, so 4th level:
4 + 3 + (ability modifier)
