I appologize in advance for any typos because I don't have the book I'm talking about in front of me. In the Campaign Setting handbook, Silvanesti elves gain "all of the bonuses elves in the Player Handbook get, except as noted". Under this 'noted' section, it says this: *Silvanesti elves gain a +1 bonus on Spellcraft and Knowledge Arcana My question is, do the Silvanesti Elves still gain the +2 bonus to Listen, Search, and Spot skills? I'm not certain if the above bonus replaces the L,S,S bonus to typical elves. I didn't think that it did replace it, since the other races in the PH don't list their skill bonuses under just one bullet. For example, Halflings have their bonuses separated as: *Halflings gain +2 on climb, jump, and move silently checks because they are agile, surefooted, and athletic. *Halflings gain +2 on listen checks because of their keen ears. I figured that since they are listed separately like that under the halfling, the Silvanesti bonus would be added as a second bulleted gain to skill checks. However, what is the definative answer? Thanks all!
