[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3985657, member: 17691"] So, human, halfling and dwarf are their own distinct languages and all three are separate from common? Are there different different dialects of human? Is sylvan a language spoken in the area and if so, who in the forest speaks it? Does draconic exist as its own language or are Anarenn's dragons too stupid to have developed their own language? BTW, where does my forest fit on the "nasty" scale and what is it called? What other creatures live in this forest? What is the village called and which country is it in? Dragons do indeed get 6+Int skill points per hit dice (x4 for the 1st hit dice as normal). By my count that'd give my pseudodragon 45 skill points. Unfortunately, only the skills mentioned in a monster's entry are considered class skills, which for a pseudodragon includes Diplomacy, Hide, Listen, Search, Sense Motive, Spot and Survival. So I started by maxing out those 7, which used up 35 points. Then I spent the rest of my 10 points as cross-class skills on Decipher Script (since you mentioned I'd have books in my cave), Tumble and Use Magic Device (cause they might prove useful). Throw in the ability modifiers, size modifiers, synergy bonuses and racial bonuses and voila! Why? Did you spot any mistakes? I'm having trouble imagining any crafts, professions or knowledges being accessible enough to a pseudodragon to count as racial class-skills. I put in Alertness cause, it being normal for pseudodragons, I figured it'd make sense to assign it as my 1st level bonus feat. Also, being a solo player, I can't afford to miss Listen and Spot checks. That'd leave me free to pick out something else as my standard 1st level feat. I was considering taking Flyby Attack.
