santinj@ 09-12-05, 06:20 PM	I've got a question about the Core Plot, Brightsands fastplay characters. I was transposing the characters to character record sheets. Things were going well until I got to the last character, the half-elf cleric of Vathris. Am I going crazy or does she have too many skill points? As written, the stat block assumes she has 16 skill points distributed as follows: concentration (4 ranks) heal (4 ranks) knowledge, religion (3 ranks) knowledge, history (3 ranks) spellcraft (2 ranks) Am I right when I say that she should only have 12 (not 16) skill points? She's got a 12 INT, so she should have (2+1) x 4 skill points at first level, correct? Or, am I totally overlooking something here. I'm pretty new to the 3.5e rules, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something.

For what it's worth, the original skills were: concentration: 4 ranks heal: 2 ranks knowledge (history): 2 ranks knowledge (religion) 2 ranks spellcraft: 2 ranks
