I have just reread Skill Mastery and am confused. Its says when determining skill bonus rogues use their ability modifier or +3, whichever is higher.
I simply thought this was a typo/hangover still there from the first playtest and ignored it as all PCs now ADD their ability bonus and the +3 from BGs.
Am I right?....OR, does it refer:
A) To you ability score bonus, so if it is not +3 already it becomes +3. So along with BG +3, your skill would be +6.
OR
B) To the bonus from BG. So if your ability score is higher than +3 you use it TWICE? So you would simply have +8 (for 18-19 DEX) or +10 (with 20 DEX).
Neither of these sound right to me? Especially combined with the take 10! (Which we have replaced with Advantage and I am not that worried about as it seems to be on the way out soon).
I sure hope they clear the wording of this up. How have others interpreted this?
