I'm converting Hook Mountain Massacre to Pathfinder and I'm a little stuck as to what skills I should give Mammy Graul. I gave the +2 human attribute bonus to her Int (increasing it to 17), which gives her a total of 48 skill ranks. With 8 ranks in each of Fly, Knowledge (arcana), and Spellcraft she still has 24 skill ranks left. What else should she have? Should I just ignore the left-over skill ranks?
This is what I came up with for Mammy. Figured she had to know something about the dead (thus the religion) and was probably pretty good at guessing what was valuable. Not 100% sure on all the math, since I was doing this kind of quick for play.

And yes, if this is TMI, I apologize in advance.
Wow. I'm thinking of leaving Mammy as a minor boss, so CR 14 may be a bit too tough.

It gives you an idea of what kind of skills she may have though, now that you have several rolled together and no longer need Concentration at all.
The Grauls can have *all* kinds of fun 'skills' and 'quirks', so run with it and have fun! ^_^
