Getting around Ecclesiarch

[Antoine]

Hi,

A simple timing question :

Ecclesiarch is a General feat. Means character, unless some special undefined trick, can get it at level 1, 3, 6, 9…

Ecclesiarch pre-requisite is : Knowledge (Religion) 6 ranks.

Now which is correct ?

A / I get 3rd level, choose my class… then my skills, get a 6th rank in Knowledge [Religion], and since I meet the pre-requisite become an Ecclesiarch.
Now, Knowledge [local] and Gather Information are class skills fo me. When I get 4th level I can purchase ranks in these skills for 1 skill point.

B / I must have 6 ranks in Knowledge [Religion] before I raise up the level that grants me a feat. Then, I get this sixth ranks anywhere between 3rd and 5th level. When I get 6th level, I pick Ecclesiarch and can spend my 6th level skill points with the benefits af the feat.

Thanks for your answer.

A simple timing question: [...]

Hi!

"Timing" is on page 58 PHB, EXPERIENCE AND LEVELS.
Follow the steps below LEVEL ADVANCEMENT:
....
6. Skill Points: [spend thy skills points]
7. Feats: [choose thy feats]
....

Thus: If you have 6 ranks (not earlier than 3rd level) in Kn (religion), you may pick your feat.

Kind regards
