Specializations and Skills

[lastsaves]

Hi,

I would like to ask a few question regarding specializations and skills:

 

1)Does Specialization count towards 7 and 8 point Skill bonus?

E.g. if I have skill at 6 and have 2 in specialization, does it counts as 8?

I know that it works for gaining 6th level skills (4+2), but I am not sure if it works also for 8th level bonus gain.

 

2) What is the difference between 7 and 8 point bonus?

 

3) Is there any other bonus for skill at 9, 10 and 11 (with 3 points in specialization)?

 

Thanks a lot.

1) Yes.

2) No difference. If ranks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 each count as a +1 bonus to a skill in the left or right column, then 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 each count as a +4 bonus to that skill (so 7 is +10, 8 is +14, 9 is +18 and so on). The middle column works a little differently: you don't get 4 times the regular bonus for your 7th point in it, but instead you get a wider range of bonuses that are all increased with the 7th point and every point after that (as described in the skill description).

3) See #2.

Thanks a lot for shedding light on the system.
