Hello,
are there a thread to create a character with more skill points and access to all the skills ?

Feats that give skill points and aptitudes based on Intelligence ?

Factotum / Exemplar ?


Thanks for your future answer.

There isn't really a specific thread.

Well, Factotum 1 with Able Learner gives you every skill as a class skill for the rest of your career. After that it's just a case of having as high an Int as possible really, and possibly entering 8+Int skill classes if it means that much to you (e.g. Rogue, Uncanny Trickster).

Imo either Factotum 20 or Factotum 11 / Chameleon 9 are both better than going Exemplar tho.

Incarnate and Totemist are useful dips for some skill boosts. Changeling Rogue has nice social skills abilities and 10+Int skills.

There's also some interesting things to be done with the Jack of all Trades Bard variant (I think that's the name - you can make it so you count all skills as trained and with half ranks in).

"The shattered gates of slaughtergarde"... I've never even heard of that one. Is there anything in that book aside from the Twisted Lord?

Yes there are 4 PrCs in it (its an adventure module)

Twisted lord: The stealthy assassins of the Ebon Cabal, twisted lords can turn their visages fearsome at a moment's notice. (Thief type)

Solar channeler: Holy warriors ready to defend the Material Plane against demonic invasion, solar channelers are effective healers and spellcasters until the situation demands melee combat. Then they become furious angels. (Divine spellcaster)

Dark scholar: Dark scholars are arcanists who have delved deeply into texts regarded as too revolutionary or too dangerous for others. (Arcane Spellcaster)

Serene guardian: Those who master the esoteric, mind-enhancing techniques of the Luminous Order have earned the right to call themselves serene guardians. (Monk type)

Interesting... would the Twisted Lord have any potential for Avenging Executioner builds?

I like the sound of the Solar Channeler as well actually.

Don't forget the two skill boosting divine spells which are very nice.

Let us not forget the Changeling Rogue sub levels which are 10+Int skills each.

And the feat Open Minded (XPH) for 5 more skill points a pop.
