Expert Signature Abilities
Expertise I (Ex): Pick two of your class skills. These are your Expertise skills. For these skills, you gain access to the expanded uses of skills that are listed below.
Expertise II (Ex): Add one more class skill to your Expertise skills. You are now so confident in the use of your Expertise skills that you can use them reliably even under adverse conditions. When making a check with Expertise skills, you may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent you from doing so.
Expertise III (Su): Add one more class skill to your Expertise skills. As a full round action, you can touch an ally and give them your ranks in your Expertise skills; when you give ranks to another, you lose those ranks. Ranks you give add to your ally's existing ranks in that skill, and cannot exceed the usual max, that is, character level in class skills, character level -2 for non-class skills. Giving just one rank also confers proficiency with the skill. Ranks you give away return to you after one hour, but you can reclaim one, some, or all ranks you have given with a swift action. You can give away your ranks as often as you like, but you must always retain 1 rank in every Expertise Skill. You can give ranks away to as many allies as you like, up to the number of ranks you have to give.
Expertise IV (Su): Add one more class skill to your Expertise skills. Once per day for each of your Expertise skills, you can roll two dice while making a skill check, and take the better result. You must choose to use this talent before making a check.
