Okay when I created my character my skills are all messed up. A little example is this when I got to create my character and customize my skills. I put 2 points in tumble. When I start the game and check my character it says tumble is -3. When I make the exact same character just dont put any points in tumble. It stays at 0.
Thats just an example, a lot of skills are set like they should when I start my game.
Messed up skills
your armor is dropping the tumble...For some reason when you don't have any tumble possibly it is not dropping the tumble via armor. Or else not wearing armor the second time.
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
or stated somewhat differently:
-skills at level-up are *UNmodified*. In the character sheet at other times the skills are *modified*. As Claudius has noted - armor is modifying you tumble skill, and also skills like Hide and Move Silently. (a.k.a "armor check *penalty*.)
Items that provide "bonuses" modify the skill as well, but instead of lowering your score they increase it. (..though if its armor with a Tumble bonus and no reduction in your armor check penalty then you factor in both your Tumble bonus AND your armor check penalty.)
