Though less common than feeling that you do not have enough skill points, occasionally it seems that a player has too many skill points to spend for the concept of the character. Instead of spending those skill points on extra skills that might not be fitting a character, a player can opt to purchase skill-focused feats instead, improving those skills that are pertinent to the character beyond the usual max ranks. Players may roll over up to 3 skill points from one level to the next for this purpose. Keep in mind that these feats can only be purchased once per skill.
Skill Focus: This feat gives a +3 bonus to a skill, and can be purchased for 4 skill points. This feat can be purchased for any skill not listed under specific skill feats below.
Specific Skill Feats: These skills may not have skill focus applied, but the listed feat may be purchased for 6 skill points.
- Acrobatics –> Agile (+2 bonus)
- Athletics –> Athletic (+2 bonus)
- Perception –> Alertness (+2 bonus)
- Stealth –> Stealthy (+2 bonus)
While they can not be purchased with skill points, any feat a PC takes that provide a +2 bonus to skill not listed and to one of the skills combined into the above list now provides +2 to the unmodified skill and +1 to the modified skill.
