[QUOTE="Terry Edwards, post: 1552461, member: 10978"] Let's see...6th level equals maximum of 9 ranks in a class skill. Add to that the related ability bonus, I'll assume a high ability score of 18 for a +4. Next we'll tack on bonuses from any feats such as Investigator or Persuasive which gives a +2 to two skills. This brings our sample skill to +15. Let's not forget synergy bonuses, +2. This can be further enhanced with Skill Focus for +3 but with the diverse array of high skills I would say your player is using the +2 to two skills option. According to my calculations a skill of +17 is within the reach of most 6th-level characters. There are other factors as well such as race, spell enhancement, magic items etc. That being said if you have doubts just ask the player in question to show you the math. [/QUOTE]
