[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 5217969, member: 25696"] I have a (homebrew) Feat that lets you select two skills and treat them as class skills from the moment you take the feat. One of the players is taking the feat to allow himself to qualify for a PrC (allowing him to buy enough ranks this level instead of having to spend to levels to get there. He'll be one skillpoint short if he has to buy it as a cross-class skill...) The skill in question is a class skill for the PrC, so once he qualifies and takes the PrC he no longer has benefits from the Feat. He therefore plans to retrain the feat as soon as he has taken the first level of the PrC. The question is: what happens to the bought ranks? Do they revert to cross-class skillpoints, making him no longer qualify for the PrC? I looked at the retraining rules, and they seem to imply you do not change skillranks once they are bought. Is this correct? (Note: the same situation could occur when you switch from a racial substitution level to a 'normal' level and loose access to a class skill added to your class list by the substitution level. However, the issue of loosing class skills isn't addressed, only the situation for adding class skills...) [/QUOTE]
