If you pick up any physical skills as secondary skills. Do any of the bonuses from the physical skills/secondary skills apply to current OCC and OCC Related skills? Thanks!

I see no rule that says not to. It would only make sense that as the body is conditioned through a new secondary skill, that existing skills that would leverage that conditioning would also be improved through any bonus granted. At least, that how I play it.

Could a OCC physical skill give a bonus to a physical secondary skill?

I do not think it matters how you picked up the skill, if you have it, then it does what it says and gives the bonuses that it gives. The only limitation is that certain Physical Skills are not available as OCC Related Skills depending on your OCC and only certain Physical Skills can be taken as Secondary Skills.

Agreed. I have house rules around picking OCC related and secondary skills, but re bonuses - I fully agree. The bonus is what is written.

Gymnastics/Acrobatics for Climbing/Prowl?

Specifically, yes that's what I am looking at.

Looking things over and agreeing with the opinions above, I see nothing limiting a bonus to a one skill granted by another skill. Whether the source is OCC, OCC-related, Professional, Elective, or Secondary makes no difference. There's no reason your job couldn't make you better at related hobbies or vice versa.
