[QUOTE="AWizardInDallas, post: 4322623, member: 52605"] [b]Bhut[/b] The skills seem to be slightly wrong (66 skill points available). Max ranks exceeded on Intimidate by 2 pts and over spent by 4 pts. I'm thinking about dropping the 2 pts spent on Diplomacy and dropping points spent on Intimidate to 11 instead of 13.[CODE]Skill Type Points Ranks Ability Other Total Max Rank Bluff Class 11 11 +5 0 +16 11 Diplomacy Class 0 0 +5 0 +5 11 Disguise Class 11 11 +5 0 +16 11 Intimidate Class 11 11 +5 0 +16 11 Listen Class 11 11 -1 0 +10 11 Spot Class 11 11 -1 0 +10 11 Survival Class 11 11 -1 0 +10 11[/CODE]Bhut (CR 9) 35E.FFO.20 Always NE Medium Undead (Incorporeal) Init +4 Senses Listen +10, Spot +10 Aura Dreadful appearance 30 ft.
