The troll seems to have max ranks in 2 skills despite having a -2 modifier from its 6 intelligence. Are the skills wrong, or is there some special rule at work that I am not aware of?

As far as I can tell, it should only have max ranks in 1 skill.

Hmm, that's funny.

I read the title and totally thought we were on a different subject. XD

Okay, it has Intimidate and Perception as class skills, be it from humanoid or giant types. +3 in each. Intimidating Prowess adds Str to Intimidate. +8 Int +3 Perception. -1 Wis makes +2 Perception. Six skill points gets us to +8 in both. I'm not sure where the extra plus one in Intimidate is.

Edit: Whoops, forgot Skill Focus (Perception). Another +3 to Perception. So technically the troll is shorted 2 points. Wierd.

Gotta put a skill point in each to get that +3

Edit: I think the troll is shorted 2 points in Perception.

Perception
+2 ranks
+3 class skill
+3 skill focus
-1 Wisdom
EQUALS +8 Perception modifier

Intimidate
+3 rank
+3 class skill
+5 strength
-2 charisma
EQUALS +9 Intimidate modifier

Troll actually seems shorted one rank. I wonder how I got to be so off in my first post.

Their spreadsheet might be counting Charisma off in both by mistake.

That would equal +7 (but +3 ranks would make it +8 total, and that would mean the troll is correct).

GAH.

Nevermind it all then.
