Masterful Talent Untrained

[stormborn125]

so just looking has there been a FAQ or clearing up on this?

"At 20th level, the rogue has been a thief, an actor, a merchant, a scout, a confessor, a friend, an assassin, and a dozen more things besides. The rogue gains a +4 bonus on all of her skills."

cause it sounds like it allows you to use skills untrained, but just want to see if there's and definite yes or no

The two sentances you have quoted in the OP appear to be the entirety of the ability. The ability does what it says it does, and does not do anything other than what it says it does. There is nothing in there about using skills untrained when you would normally need to be trained, so it does not do that (although it works fine with untrained skill checks you can make).

AFAICT, there is a definite "no" right there in the text. What makes you think otherwise?

this line mainly, it translates to me as: I've done so many things at least passingly

That line is pure flavor text, it has no mechanical effect.

A 20th level rogue who hasn't been able to spare one rank for anything they particularly care about isn't doing it right anyway.
