The ability score modifier is applied to your skill bonus regardless of whether you have any ranks in the skill or not.

* '''Integral Bonus:''' As described above, you can get a magic item that grants an Integral bonus to one or more skills. Integral bonuses are only applied if you have fewer ranks in the skill than your total character level. Even then, the sum of your ranks in the skill and your Integral bonus cannot exceed your total character level. Any Integral bonus which you possess which is in excess of this is ignored when calculating your total skill bonus. For example, a level 10 character with 5 ranks in Stealth and a magic item which grants a +7 integral bonus to Stealth would get reduced to a +5 integral bonus, since the sum of ranks + integral bonus cannot exceed the character's level. Note that multiple integral bonuses to the same skill do not stack; only the higher of the available bonuses is applied.

Temporary modifiers, such as those from a spell or status condition, can also affect your skill bonus. In general, multiple bonuses of the same bonus type (e.g. Arcane Bonus) to the same skill do not stack; only the higher of the available bonuses is applied. If the bonus does not list a bonus type, or it states that the bonus type is "untyped", it stacks with any other bonuses you may possess.
