Skill Prodigy (Feat)

You are a true master of a particular skill.

Prerequisites: Level 21, Skill Expert (Feat), Skill Specialist (Feat), and at least 21 ranks in the chosen skill

Related: Skill Virtuoso (Feat)

Benefit: Choose one skill that meets the prerequisites. You gain an additional +1 feat bonus on all checks involving the chosen skill. Unlike normal feat bonuses, this bonus stacks with the +2 you gained from the Skill Expert feat, and the +2 you gained from the Skill Specialist feat. In addition, your critical success chance increases by an additional +1 when making skill checks with the chosen skill (you now achieve a critical skill success on a die result of 17-20, instead of 18-20). The bonus you receive when you critically succeed on a skill check with this skill is now +10 (instead of +7).

Note that this bonus does not stack with any other feat that provides a feat bonus to this skill, except for the Skill Expert and Skill Specialist feats.
