=== Bardic Knack: ===
When making any skill check, you can use ½ your bard level (rounded up) in place of the number of ranks you have in the skill (even if that number is 0).
For example, a 5-th level bard would have the equivalent of 3 ranks in Appraise, Balance, Bluff, and so on (but only for the purpose of making skill checks).
You can’t take 10 on checks when you use bardic knack (to take 10 you must have actual ranks). If the skill doesn’t allow untrained checks, you must have at least 1 actual rank to attempt the check.
