It's a second-level character with a +15 in one skill, derived from ranks, synergy, and feats. That's a VERY GOOD skill check, three times the level of the "average well-trained person." They can do average in their sleep. Some things that a +15 in various skills will let you do with an average 10 (or by taking 10)-- Balance on a surface less than 2 inches wide. That's balancing on a grape, or a dog collar.-- Regularly Bluff people into believing that they are a polymorphed Llamasu and therefore are trustworthy.-- Climb accross a cieling using only their hands-- Make someone who is unfriendly (inslutling, misleading, and denegrating you) friendly (supporting, priaising, and talking freely with you)-- Disguise yourself as someone's dead husband-- Make any animal, no matter how wild or untrained, obey and understand commands-- Jump on top of someone's head (and Balance there, if Balance is high enough)-- Hear a cat stalking you-- Gain a national reputation from a single performance-- Tumble through the ranks of an enemy army-- Swim in a violent storm-- Persuade a dragon to release you from captivity-- Discover the power behind the throne in a cityAn average result of 25 is pretty impressive. And that's at 2nd level. A few more synergy bonses, a few more +2/+2 feats, perhaps a special class feature that just gives skill bonuses, or a "magic-worth" item that does so (At 3rd level, a dedicated character could afford a +5 competence bonus in a skill and not be unbalanced).How high of a rank does she need? How many skills? 10/level? 8? 20? How many different Knowledge or Craft skills does she really demonstrate?</blockquote>
