[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 1781195, member: 3146"] +3 dex, +5 ranks, +2 synergy from balance, +2 synergy from jump=+12 tumble. I've no idea how you'd get +6 diplomacy for him. +3 from 3 ranks. +2 charisma. That's +5 where I learned math. You caught me on Knowledge: Local though. His int bonus should make it +3. The NPC is actually something of a composite. He's a cutpurse, but the older thieves often boost him through a window to open doors from the inside as well. He also does a lot of running away--including running over rooftops and things like Alladin. (Which is what jump, tumble, and balance are for). He doesn't really need to hide in order to use sleight of hand--just not be seen, so hide is unnecessary. Appraise is something that he doesn't really deal with. He'll get a rank or two later but right now, his leaders just tell him what to steal and give him a few coppers every now and then. Gather Info is also not really his area. He knows where the good places to hide out are but he doesn't have a network of informants or anything. [/QUOTE]
