[QUOTE="jphl, post: 7979112, member: 7023711"] this build is a pretty good skill monkey. you could drop some rogue level for more bard to get more spells and other goodies and expertise in 2 skills so everything is a bit higher but i liked reliable talent for a skill monkey build. you auto pass most dc20 checks and you don't get quite the numbers Warren's character above me gets but you don't rey on the large amount of magic items either and as i said it is impossible to roll less than a ten on skill checks here. And depending on how your dm reads the interaction between reliable talent and jack of all trades and the fact that features that add half your proficiency don't stack because you can't add your modifier more than once to suggest jack of all trades lets you use reliable talent with all tools. It is a variant human for the prodigy feat, it starts off in rogue and will eventually have 11 levels for reliable talent, takes a level in knowledge domain cleric for expertise in two skills two levels in warlock for beguiling influence, and goes bard 6 for the expertise and jack of all trades. in the end all skills except animal handling are at least +10 with reliable talent so they pass dc20 checks no matter what you roll. here is my character named after the main character from the show Psych ddb.ac/characters/23368427/qkTmjX [/QUOTE]
