Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anax" data-source="post: 1874289" data-attributes="member: 19868">I chose Skill Mastery, but to be honest: ALL of them are useful, unless you know that your character never uses tactics that will benefit from the ability.The reason I chose Skill Mastery is that there are number of powerful ways this can benefit your character.  If you like mobility, getting Skill Mastery on Tumble is a great way to guarantee gorgeous heroic tumbling--my level 10 character (who is, sadly, not a pure Rogue) would *love* to be able to take 10 on Tumble checks and get a guaranteed 30 every time.  (Don't need 30, you say?  You do if you want to be able to use accelerated tumbling all the time, or be absolutely sure that when you use spring attack to sneak attack the big important enemy in the back nobody will hit you, even though he has a lot of henchman around--at +2 DC for each one you pass while tumbling, you can pass 7 folks before you need to start rolling.)Other skills can also be very very handy--disarming traps on the run, etc.  Heck, Use Magic Device is another really great one.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But again, all of the others can be useful, if you have a good way to use them.  Then again, so can feats--but I wouldn't waste a rogue ability on a feat unless I had a *really really* good reason.</blockquote>
