Feat: Skill Potential

Prereq: None.
Benefit: Choose any two skill (ideally two that have some similarity in terms of use, training or natural ability). You gain a +2 bonus to all skill checks for either of those skill. In addition choose one of the following abilities:
Your threat range with these skills increases from 20 to 19-20.
Once per session you get a bonus 1d4 action die that may be used to increase a single skill roll using either of these skills.
If your maximum rank with one of these skills is less then half the maximum rank of your other chosen skill, you make all skill check as as if it was exactly half (rounded up).
Special: You may take this feat multiple times, each time it applies to a different two chosen skills. The feat may be used instead of a skill based feat that is a prestige class prerequisite or a bonus feat from a class ability. The individual bonuses from this feat do not stack with the "Skill Mastery" feat, but different bonuses can be achieved for the same skill using these two feats.
