Question - Cavalier in Sword and Fist

[Gowenna Sonnenschein]

A warrior in our group want to be a cavalier. He startet to fulfill the requirements for this prestige class.

But i think there is an antagonism in the description.

Requirments for Cavalier:
Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty): 4 Ranks

Class Features:
Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty): The Cavalier gains this skill automatically at 1st Level without having to purchase it with skill points.

So, what is wrong?

Thank you

I would ignore this as a class feature, and keep it as a prereq.

The "class feature" thing is an error resulting from careless copy-and-paste from the 2E kit, I believe. I'd leave Knowledge (nobility/royalty) as a class skill, and give the cavalier a +2 competence bonus to the skill at 1st level.

Ah, thank you ....

Read the errata....The errata changed it to the Cavalier gets a +2 bonus to skill checks related to this skill. Basically its like Skill Focus for Knowledge(Nobility and Royalty)
