Skill points are a measure of a character's ability to gain and improve skills. At each level, a character gains skill points and spends them to buy skill ranks. Each skill point buys 1 rank in a class skill or 1/2 rank in a cross-class skill.

Acquiring skill points

A character gets a base allotment of 2, 4, 6, or 8 skill points for each new level depending on which class is chosen. Intelligence provides a bonus (or penalty) equal to the ability modifier. Humans receive an extra skill point each level. For the first character level, the skill points (including bonuses) are multiplied by 4.

For class skills (such as listen for a rogue or spellcraft for a cleric), a character gets 1 rank (equal to a +1 bonus on checks with that skill) for each skill point. For cross-class skills, a character gets a 1/2 rank per skill point.

The maximum rank in a class skill is character level + 3. The maximum rank in a cross-class skill is one-half of that number (do not round up or down).
