[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8452929, member: 6915329"] You're correct. I misread it. Edit: However, Arcana, Culture, Engineering, History, Nature, and Religion are all fairly Int-based skills (even if they don't default to Int anymore). I think that it'd be pretty easy for many PCs to have only one or two of those skills on that list just because of their class, and if they have a decently high Int, they'd have probably at least one "free" skill or proficiency. I made an Int-based warlock for fun, screwed up on my reading of this, and still only ended up with one skill on that list, Arcana. I'll redo him and see what he gets.
