How many skill points should this character have:
Elf Rogue 1/ Cleric 1 with an Int of 10.
Elf Cleric 1 / Rogue 1 with an Int of 10.
Did you come up with the same number for both characters?
I always used to assume that character 1 would get 40 skill points but char 2 would get 16. After thinking about this I scoured the PHB and SRD to find out if it was supposed to work that way. I've come to the conlcusion that when selecting a core class, when you are level 1 of that class, you get the starting amount of skillpoints (4X the normal amount). Nowhere does it mention that this only works for character level 1. In fact in the SRD, character level advancement isn't covered at all, skill points are soley a function of class level.
