1st level Wizard Pregen PC has too many feats and skill points?

Would someone please check me? I played with a group of college students over the weekend. They had never played Pathfinder or Pathfinder Society so to make it easy I printed up the official pregens from the website and we played.

Had a ton of fun and we'll be doing to again. A couple of the guys knew a bit about 3.5e and asked about the PC's. We didn't get into any real discussion about it because everyone wanted to play.

But I went back and I'm trying to put the pregen PC's into PCGen so I can use them again and either PCGen is busted (which happens all the time) or the sheet is bogus.

PCGen is claiming that Ezren has 1 skill point that I can't account for (total is 7). Also his sheet gives him three feats Combat Casting, Great Fort and Spell Focus (Evocation). I can't figure out where the third feat comes from.

Thanx for correcting my stupidness.

The Spell Focus(Evocation) feat is to replace the Scribe Scroll feat Wizards don't get in Pathfinder Society.

Scribe Scroll = Spell Focus(pick one)

The Spell Focus (Evocation) is the substitution for Scribe Scroll. Item creation feats aren't allowed in PFS.

I'm guessing he's human, and so gets two feats at 1st level, and 1 extra skill point per level.

Yup that's got to be it with the feats. However, I think the pregen has an unspent skill point. He should get 2 + Int Mod + Human = 2+4+1 = 7 Skill points. On the sheet he has Know(Arcana) +8, Know (Geography) +8, Know (History) +8, Know (local) +8, Perception +3, Spellcraft +8. That leaves him with one skill point left. Yes?

Thanx,

Maybe he threw the human racial favored class bene into hit points?

It appears that Kyra the Human Cleric also has the same issue. I think she should have 3 skill points, but only 2 are spent.

It's a lamentable but well known fact that most of the pre-gens (at all levels) have errors and paizo staff have indicated it's on their to-do list to fix them at some point.

I actually did some Google searching and messageboard searching before I posted this hoping to find a list of errata. When I didn't find one I posted my questions.

To my knowledge, there isn't "errata" for the pre-gens. We're to use them as-is until they're corrected, which is on paizo's to-do list. The most recent discussion about that was in a thread called "7th level Valeros Attack Sequence Incorrect" started on Dec 7th.
