==Skills Summary==<br />
<br />
Each skill point you spend on a [[SRD:Class|class]] skill gets you 1 rank in that skill. [[SRD:Class|Class]] skills are the skills found on your character’s [[SRD:Class|class]] skill list. Each skill point you spend on a cross-[[SRD:Class|class]] skill gets your character 1/2 rank in that skill. Cross-[[SRD:Class|class]] skills are skills not found on your character’s [[SRD:Class|class]] skill list. (Half ranks do not improve your [[SRD:Skill Check|skill check]], but two 1/2 ranks make 1 rank.) You can’t save [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] to spend later.<br />
<br />
The maximum rank in a [[SRD:Class|class]] skill is the character’s level + 3. If it’s a cross-[[SRD:Class|class]] skill, the maximum rank is half of that number (do not [[SRD:Round|round]] up or down).<br />
<br />
Regardless of whether a skill is purchased as a [[SRD:Class|class]] skill or a cross-[[SRD:Class|class]] skill, if it is a [[SRD:Class|class]] skill for any of your [[SRD:Classes|classes]], your maximum rank equals your total character level + 3.<br />
<br />
=====Using Skills=====<br />
<br />
To make a [[SRD:Skill Check|skill check]], roll: 1d20 + skill modifier (Skill modifier=skill rank + ability modifier + miscellaneous modifiers)<br />
<br />
This roll works just like an [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]] or a [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]]— the higher the roll, the better. Either you’re trying to match or exceed a certain [[SRD:DC|Difficulty Class]] ([[SRD:DC|DC]]), or you’re trying to beat another character’s check result.<br />
<br />
======Epic Skill Uses======<br />
<br />
Despite the near-magical nature of some epic level skill uses, all uses of skills are considered exceptional abilities (except if noted otherwise), and thus function normally even within areas of antimagic.<br />
<br />
=====Skill Ranks=====<br />
<br />
A character’s number of ranks in a skill is based on how many [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] a character has invested in a skill. Many skills can be used even if the character has no ranks in them; doing this is called making an untrained [[SRD:Skill Check|skill check]].<br />
<br />
=====Ability Modifier=====<br />
<br />
The ability modifier used in a [[SRD:Skill Check|skill check]] is the modifier for the skill’s ''[[SRD:Key Ability|key ability]]'' (the ability associated with the skill’s use). The [[SRD:Key Ability|key ability]] of each skill is noted in its description.<br />
<br />
=====Miscellaneous Modifiers=====<br />
<br />
Miscellaneous modifiers include racial bonuses, armor check penalties, and bonuses provided by [[SRD:Feats|feats]], among others.<br />
