Weapon and Armor Proficiency

Proficient with the club, dagger, sap, quarterstaff, the favored weapon of his patron, and with light armor but not with shields.

Diminished Spellcasting

A skilled cleric may cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if his Wisdom allows bonus spells of that level.

Divine Disable (Su)

A skilled cleric can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.

Good Reflex Saving Throws

Thee skilled cleric has Reflex saving throws in the good category.

Sneak Channel

When a skilled clerics hits an opponent whom he flanks or who is denied it's Dexterity bonus to armor class against here, she can use Channel Smite feat in conjunction with the attack. This use does not count against her daily uses of the channel energy ability.

Evasion (Ex)

At 4rd level and higher, a skilled cleric can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. In addition, the skilled cleric gains a bonus on Reflex saving throws of +1 per four class levels. Evasion can be used only if the skilled cleric is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless skilled cleric does not gain the benefit of evasion, but still gains the bonus to Reflex saving throws.

Rogue Talent (Ex)

At level 8, and every 4 levels thereafter, the skilled cleric learns a rogue talent. She uses these talents as a rogue five levels lower than her skilled cleric level. He can learn advanced talents from level 15 onwards. Rouge talents can be found here. If using the revised Apath rogue, changes to rogue talents also apply to skilled clerics, as shown Rogue_(Apath)#Rogue_Talents Here.
