Help with character

[greenstar]

My character is a wizard with 20 skill points. I did Concentration 4+1 (5) Knowledge (arcana) 4+2 (6) Knowledge (history) 4+2 (6) Knowledge (the planes) 4+2 (6) Spellcraft 4+2 (6) Decipher Script 4+2 (6). Did I do it right?

I'm assuming this is a first-level wizard, given what's been said so far. That said... honestly, I'd ditch Knowledge (history), unless your concept is one where the wizard in question is a student of history. I'd be more inclined to give a skill rank each to Search and Spot. But ultimately, it depends on your character concept.

Yep, you can have up to your class level +3 ranks invested in a skill, so at first level that is 4, like you appear to have done. I count 6 skills at max ranks so...4x6=24 that's more than 20 Maybe I don't understand which number is ranks and which is ability modifier...

Concentration, spellcraft, and knowledge arcana are your core skills, anything else is personal preference. Spot and search are useful, but so are craft and your other knowledges...it's really hard to make faultless suggestions without knowledge of the campaign and group.

Sorry I added it wrong

I'd also recommend ranks in Concentration.

Very useful for casting in melee, or for casting spells with longer casting times.
