Skills

Keep Diplomacy, Intimidate, Spot, Listen, Sense Motive capped.

Add to the next as points permit (highest priority first):

• Bluff (more in this the better)
• Use Rope (up to something--securing a grapple is 10 +2/10', so that's a reasonable target)
• Swim (good to have)
• Climb (good to have)
• Survival (not as important if Anise sticks around)
• Speak Language (as appropriate, but the more the merrier. Currently, Fresian is the one language the party has that Kib doesn't, and more monster languages would also be great. Flannery, too, is one of the countries between Gildenhome and Odessa
• Ride (+9 gives automatic fight with warhorse success. +14 for most of the other stuff. +19 for fast mount, but that's modified by armor check).
• Knowledge(whatever--local is good to have, arcana is definitely useful, nobility gives diplo synergy, arch and engineering gives search synergy)
• Search (some points in this to make good use of the belt of Dwarvenkind)
• Handle Animal (don't need this too high, but it's good with horses)

-- Ok, that finally adds up. Changing level 1 Int means a lot of record-keeping, but it's all straight now. I added Gnomish rather than the probably-more-likely Fresian just to keep from having to retcon the encounter with Diamon Pegg. Skills are straight, too, I added them like eight times. -Slitherrr

Hey, so, the Field Marshall and the Professional now both have abilities that give INT bonus to AC, but in different ways. How will we handle that? -Slitherrr

Well, it looks like there is no conflict? One increases your Dex bonus, and one gives some other kind of named bonus? Stackability is determined by the descriptor tag, not the origin. -gm

Field Marshall bonus doesn't have a name ("add your INT bonus to your AC"). A dodge bonus, perhaps? -Slitherrr

Hmm. Insight bonus, maybe? Or, yeah, maybe dodge. Dodge bonuses stack with each other, so that's worth factoring in one way or another. -gm
