Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ambrus" data-source="post: 4812702" data-attributes="member: 17691">[sblock=CanadienneBacon]Sent.Bronze dragons don't start with any ability score modifiers, though they do gain some later as a part their level advancement. The attribute bonuses are offset by the intermittent acquisition of hit dice, skill points, save modifiers and feats.In keeping with the MM, dragons gain 6 skill points (plus their Intelligence modifier) for each hit dice. The bronze dragon monster class is consistent with that. So, 6 skill points for my first hit dice, +2 from my Intelligence and +1 for taking a level in my favored class: dragon. I purchased 1 rank each in Diplomacy, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (history), Knowledge (local), Knowledge (religion), Linguistics, Perception, Survival and Use Magic Device. Taran is a budding scholar.They're listed in the their MM writeup on dragons. They are: Listen, Search and Spot (which are folded together into Perception in Pathfinder), Concentration (which is folded into Spellcraft in Pathfinder), Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Intimidate, Knowledge (any), Sense Motive, and Use Magic Device. Disguise, Swim, and Survival are considered class skills for bronze dragons.Draconic is free. I took Common and Varisian as my 2 bonus languages for high Intelligence. I gained Thassilonian by taking 1 rank in Linguistics.What you're missing is the +1 on attack rolls for being small-sized. I forgot to add it to my AC now that I think of it.You're right. It's an oversight on my part. I got confused by taking the Child of the Streets trait which erroneously grants a +1 bonus on Gather Information when it should in fact be a +1 to Diplomacy. Since I no longer need to buy a rank in Gather Information I'll instead apply it to Use Magic Device. I'll review my trait selection. Edit: I believe I'll take the <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/characterTraits.htm#absentMinded" target="_blank">Absent Minded</a> trait instead of Child of the Streets if that's okay.The Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide makes mention of goblins rummaging around in the junktoss bellow Junker’s Edge in the rumors section. "Don’t go down to the junktoss after dark: goblins steal the trash at night." I simply assumed that there was an element of veracity to that rumor. I can change it if you prefer.She's Varisian, so I figure they speak Varisian together. I imagined that Risa doesn't realize that she's speaking to anything other than a human since she's mostly blind. That was my reasoning in having her being the only person with whom Taran converses. Although he's somewhat evasive about himself I figure that he's allowed Risa to assume that he's a precocious Varisian local boy, perhaps an orphan, who simply enjoys listening to her stories.Taran has a dragon's keen senses (Ex), which means he sees four times as well as a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. An exact distance in feet can't be given because it's dependent on the source of light in an area; as it is for any creature.Edit: I'm toying with the idea of Taran having crafted his own leather barding (cut into the shape of scales) out of discarded scraps found in the Junktoss to supplement his own nonexistent natural armor. I'd pay for the base materials out of his starting funds of course. It'd depend on a perceived need for protection though; which I suppose wouldn't have occurred if he'd never had any run ins with goblins.[/sblock]</blockquote>
