    I've been trying to calculate in a spreadsheet different characters' stats, but am frequently not getting the same results as in "protos.tab".

    For instance, disregarding things like armor check penalties and ability modifiers, I calculated Terjon's total skill ranks and got 123 ranks, whereas in "protos.tab" he has 161 ranks if you add them all together.

    Could someone double check this? Did I miscalculate?

    Thanks!

    Also, why do only some characters have an HP amount listed for them (column 25 in protos.tab)? Thanks.

    HP can be set in protos.tab to give the proto that specific number of HP. If it's left blank, it's calculated by hit dice.

    No idea about the other thing really.

    Another example is the "Hommlet Village Man". (Line 1 of protos.tab.)

    He has 20 skill ranks, but should only have 8. (I think.)

    He has 1 HD and an INT mod of -1, so: (2 + INT mod) * 4 at first level for being a humanoid monster or member of the commoner class, plus 4 at first level for being racially human.

    Unless he is an expert... but then the total would be more than 20.
