Skill Specialist (Feat)

You have a singular focus for perfecting your ability with a particular skill.

Prerequisites: Level 11, Skill Expert (Feat), and at least 11 ranks in the chosen skill

Related: Skill Prodigy (Feat), Skill Virtuoso (Feat)

Benefit: Choose one skill that meets the prerequisites. You gain an additional +2 feat bonus on all checks involving the chosen skill. Unlike normal feat bonuses, this bonus stacks with the +2 you gained from the Skill Expert feat. In addition, your critical success chance increases by an additional +1 when making skill checks with the chosen skill (you now achieve a critical skill success on a die result of 18-20, instead of 19-20). The bonus you receive when you critically succeed on a skill check with this skill is now +7 (instead of +5).

In addition, your chosen skill may have skill uses which are only available if you possess this feat. If so, these skill uses are now available to you.

Note that this bonus does not stack with any other feat that provides a feat bonus to this skill, except for the Skill Expert and Skill Prodigy feats.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new skill.
