I think it's the same they get in PnP Pathfinder ( https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/ )
As far as i know there's no way to see it in-game unfortunately.

BTW, 1/2 Int works both ways, if your Int is 8-9 (-1 modifier) you only loose 1/2 skill point. Yep, Owlcat made Int the official dump stat :steamsad:

EDIT : Now that i think about it Rogue doesn't get 8 skill points so it looks like the PnP numbers are only used for low skill classes like fighter. Mhh, wonder if someone made a definite list.

You can find out if you get 10 INT and then change classes in character creation.
Since this game has less skills, you get less skill points so I don't know if PnP values apply to amount of class skill points.

I thought it would be strange since you get around 12 skills, if rouge got +8class bonus that would be massive portion.

It shows it on the screen when you are selecting your class?
wth does Barb get 3.5 and some of the more brainy classes only 2.5 ?

It´s not about brain. It´s about skill. Like You don´t need much brain for athletics, perception, mobility, and some others which are "instinct" based.

@Juliet: If you're familiar with Pathfinder pen and paper, and you want the source material, it's using a slight modification of Pathfinder's Consolidated Skills[legacy.aonprd.com] option

**EDIT AGAIN** Ok, I corrected the Wiki page :P It is showing the correct number of skill points that each class gets per level.

Looking at the list, for each class it appears to be half of their core pathfinder counterpart’s skill points plus 1. There really is no excuse for Owlcat to not have this to be written anywhere in-game; hopefully their class and level-up screens are more transparent in future titles.

Also it’s worth noting that a character that raises their natural intelligence modifier receives the extra skill points retroactively.

... @Stink Bug; As I said in my previous post. It's a slightly more simplified version of the Consolidated Skills option from Pathfinder Unchained. It was one of the last major books that Paizo released to give people various options to make the game more or less complicated.

Its using the PFRPG:Unchained rule set for skills and skill gain. Most of the game uses unchained rules except for the flanking, the two archetypes that revert to classic (traditional monk and barbarian), and the lack of certain feats/options. The flanking rules and feats are being slowly modded in.
