[QUOTE="BriarMonkey, post: 5497394, member: 95387"] Yeah, no feats give ranks - they only give bonuses or ability to use (like "Jack of all Trades" does not give ranks, it allows one to use skills that are otherwise untrained). I agree with the prior statements, you are just going to have to use skill points and spend them to get the ranks you are looking for. And, if your GM does allow for taking "Jack..." a couple of times to get a rank, I would seriously doubt he'd allow for multiples and multiples to get free ranks (I know I wouldn't allow for that, nor allow for taking "Jack..." multiple times to get any ranks at all). However, I don't recall where the feat came from, but there is a feat called "Scholarly". When you take this feat, for the purposes of determining skill points (and only that purpose), you can add 2 points to your Intelligence. So in effect, its +1 skill points per level. May haps your GM will allow you to take that feat more than once, which will help with the skill points you will need. [/QUOTE]
