With the Hyborean's 'Adaptability' racial feature I noticed that the bonuses to the 2 skills of character's choice are competence bonuses and not racial bonuses like the unconditional (meaning not restricted to a specific terrain) skill bonuses of other races.
Is there a good reason for that ?
I chose Bluff and Diplomacy as the 2 skills for my Brythunian Thief/Temptress Nina because ... well, she should be good at them. But the Temptress class features 'Seductive Art' and 'Seductive Savant' also give / can give competence bonuses to those skills so they wouldn't stack with the skill bonuses from 'Adaptability (unlike e.g. the racial Bluff and Diplomacy bonuses for a Vendhyan Temptress).
With the rules written like that it doesn't make sense for a Hyborean Temptress to choose most of the social skills as her 2 skills for the 'Adaptability' racial feature, which seems a bit weird.
