Who you gonna call? Who are the real experts in various skills? When a tricky issue arrives, who do you pick up the phone to consult? Only +15 or more bonus; a real expert, will be counted. Some skills are not included; Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Sense Motive, Concentration. These are the kind of skills it would be hard to quantify in real life as an expert. The reason for this, whilst someone arbitrary, is that one could quite easily find an expert in physics, or singing, but skills like intimidation are not something you could find in a phone book! I appreciate there is something arbitrary about this, but the purpose of “Who you gonna call?” is a reference – for people to find person X if they need skill Y. Variable skills do not count (mainly because they distort the list so much, by being an expert in everything). Enhanced skills do. I am only counting skills with at least one rank in them; whilst some characters with amazing INT or DEX might reach +15 bonus with Jack of All Trades or Eidectic Memory, again, this distorts the list a lot and makes it cumbersome / unwieldy. Similarly, untrained skills like Climb are not counted even if you have awesome strength (for the same reason). Masterwork Tools do not count (in the spirit of not actually making you an “expert”). Ranks potentially gained by Beginners Luck do not count. Morph skill does not count for disguise. Wealth does not give a bonus. This is not a contest! It’s a reference! Apologies to characters with a skill rank just below +15; a line had to be drawn somewhere. We have plenty of PCs who are still very competent (+10 to +14) in many of these skills, enough to be called an expert, but I drew the line at +15 for characters who would be consulted on difficult matters, or, if you are inclined, at +20 or more you would be the world expert on the matter. Normal apologies: This was more work than I thought it would be, and no doubt I missed people, and made mistakes. Just post corrections afterwards and I will edit them in.
