Can Intelligent magic items have skill ranks and use skills? (mental skills at least...)
At first glance, it seems like it."Intelligent items can actually be considered creatures because they have Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. Treat them as constructs."
And, from construct Features:
"Skill points equal to (2 + Int modifier, minimum 1) per Hit Die, with quadruple skill points for the first Hit Die, if the construct has an Intelligence score."
But then when you try to calculate the number of ranks, you have no definition of Hit Die for an intelligent magic item. It's treated like a construct, but without hit dice.
