How much do you get on level 1?depending on class/background/theme it should be from 3 to 7.getting skill training will give you +4 in that skill.also it will give you minimum roll of 5 in that skill(mundane tasks are easy, even when rushed then),skill focus will give you additional +3 in that skill and a minimum die roll of 8(requires level 3),skill mastery will give you additional +2 in that skill and a minimum die roll of 10(requires level 7),skill grandmastery will give you additional +1 in that skill and a minimum die roll of 12(requires level 12),Skill training, skill focus, skill mastery and grandmastery will also be general feats that all will be able to take after meeting prerequirements.3. How many skills do you get after? I was thinking that every class gets certain fraction of a bonus skill feat per level.-lets say that a rogue gets 0,90 skill feat per level. So at level 1 he has 0,90 feat to spend(round down) that is zero, at level 2 he has 1,80 feat to spend or round down exactly one bonus feat skill.  For a total of 18 bonus skills at lvl 20.-fighter would get 0,4 and get 1st bonus feat at level 3 and 2nd at level 5 for a total of 8 bonus skills at level 20.4.  As for multiclassing;for later levels it's easy. Just add up fractions of both classes and determine when you can get a bonus feat.As for starting number of skill I would add from second class 3 skills less that that class at 1st character level. So fighter would get 0 skills if not on first level and rogue would get 4. Third class would give you 5 less skills for multiclass.</blockquote>
