I don't have any good suggestions (sorry!) but I do want to remind everyone that our characters won't necessarily know each other.  With this big of a group, it's quite possible that the game might end up consisting of two smaller groups at times, doing different things or in different places.  This will lessen any overlap problems.  But more importantly, I'm sure out expert DM will do some taloring of adventures to give us opportunities to use our skills.  Since this game IS apparently going to have lots of plot, intrigue, etc., it may not be a bad thing if we're all a pack of highly-suspicious liars who can sweet-talk our way in or out of situations.  I wouldn't worry so much about overlap.  Rather, try and find one thing that your character will be able to do well that no one else will be able to do.  For instance, though my character's bluff and sense motive skills may be redundant, his primary abilities as an unfettered will shape his role in the party.  My trippin', whippin', disarmin' and charmin' litorian will probably use bluff in very different ways from the way mojh players might use bluff.  (Did I mention how vain my character is?)  So I guess I do have a suggestion Tychus.  Try to find one area that no one else really excels at.  Make this area your own.  If everything else overlaps, it won't matter much.  Besides, there's only so many skills ... we're bound to have overlap.  And yeah, +14 sense motive would make you downright uncanny.FaenFriend</blockquote>
