Several quick questions about the Apprentice feat from the DMG2

[realbombchu]

Help, there are a few things I don't understand about this section.

When you take this feat, are your 2 bonus skill points multiplied by 4 at first level like the others?

Do you keep the 2 bonus skill points throughout all 20 levels or lose them after you reach level 5?

It says the 2 skills become class skills for all your classes, but says the opposite later, which is true?

If you exchange Apprentice for Mentor, do you keep the benefits of Apprentice?

Thanks, that's all, I think.

No, there's no multiplication. It's a one-time-only bonus. You retain the 2 skill points from 1st level, but do not gain extra at later levels. I don't know what you're going on about with losing the class skills; that would happen only if you failed to maintain your status as an Apprentice.

If you swap Apprentice for Mentor you have the benefits of the Mentor feat and no longer have the benefits of the Apprentice feat.
