I need to bump Ameiko up a level, so I created a character sheet for her but I keep finding a discrepancy in the number of skill ranks she has versus the number she is suppose to get. Hopefully someone can spot my bad math because I've spent 2 days puzzling over this...
By my count she has a total of 53 skill ranks
And, by my count, Ameiko should only have a total of 40 skill ranks. Even if she were house ruled to allow for an extra skill rank outside of her favored class, it still only brings her total to 44.
Did I miss something? Or should I just forget about it and add the skill ranks for my level 6 Ameiko anyway?
Here is my math if anyone wants to see how I came up with the totals
MOD/RANK/CLASS SKILL BONUS/MISC
Acro +10 = 2/5/3
Bluff +12 = 4/5/3
Diplo +12 = 4/5/3
Intim +12 = 4/5/3
Arcana +6 = 1/1/3/1(Bardic Knowledge)
Local +8 = 1/3/3/1(Bardic Knowledge)
Nobility +6 = 1/1/3/1(Bardic Knowledge)
Religion +6 = 1/1/3/1(Bardic Knowledge)
Percep +7 =-1/5/3
Perform +12 = 4/5/3
Perform +12 = 4/5/3
Profess +4 =-1/2/3
Spell +9 = 1/5/3
Stealth +10 = 2/5/3
= 53 ranks
Ameiko's Int mod = 1
Human = 1 extra skill rank per level
Aristocrat 1 = 4+1+1 = 6
Bard 3 = 6+1+1 = 24
Rogue 1 = 8+1+1 = 10
= 40 ranks
Ameiko's got Versatile Performance (String) which lets her use her Perform check in place of Bluff and Diplomacy.
Take your 53, minus 10 (5 each for bluff and diplomacy), leaves us with 43. 40 skill points normally +3 favored class for Bard = 43.
