Skill Focus - UMD.

[Anarcoplayba]

I leveled yesterday and tested a level of rogue and tried to pick Skill Focus Use Magic Device, but it was unavailable.

Is that correct?

seems the skil focus is only available some levels   guess its not available as the potm extra feats or something

Well... thanks... I'll take a look in the next levels, but in this level there was the skill focus feat, but there wasnt the option to take it on the UMD skill.

Some feats are restricted to the normal feat chain. Once every third level. They were not put into the bonus feat list on purpose. Don't question the dark powers on this. They have their reasons. One feat that is a every third level is lightning reflexes.

If you ever see a feat not showing on your list during potm bonus feat selection, then you will see it on the full feat levels granted on 1,3,6,9,12,15,18.

Well, it's just categorized so that it looks like one feat.  You know each skill focus feat is an entirely different feat.  So, remove one, you still have the others.

That was my doubt, then, yes, I'll wait for a full feat level to see.

The question is that it will, probably, change my plans for the character.

its not the only skill focus that is removed from the bonus feats list. Discipline in removed too, probably others.   Its to prevent Mages from using the bonus feats to cover up their weakness. Some are missing for balance reasons obviously.
