Post subject:  Does this PC build tie out?

Hello, I had to rebuild Oozejumper as there where many errors in the original (First PC woes), not the least of which losing all his certs when I moved. Since all he played before the move was crusade mods (at least as far a I remember) Toney was kind enough to let me rebuild him from scratch using the 1.5 cert. Public Thanks to Toney for letting me do this. I might be paranoid, but I think this will come with a "special favor" type flaw next time I see him at a con. :D

Anyhow, in the spirit playing by the rules, I thought I would post the final product for others to comment on. I'm not looking for advice on optimization, but I will gladly accept such advice. Rather I would like some help double checking my build with the goal of meeting expectations of the persona I have already established.

One thing that is not in the build is "I'm not going to eat that", which I traded for the flaw Chilling Presence. As I understand it, Chilling Presence affects Social Rolls but not all Charima Rolls such as the use of the Perform Skill. Psychologically, I see his acting, comedy, and oratory skills as a way to overcome his handicap in controlled or contrived settings. But when it comes time to negotiate with NPC's, well, perhaps it is best to leave that to the diplomats. To be clear, all of Ooze Jumpers comentary on the Cross Roads Tavern forum was made as a PC, who is acting "In Character" via the perform skills.

Thanks in advance.

in step three you have 6 points in quickness, but in the final table you have a 5. You bump resolve from a 3 to a 4 at the race step, but than bump charisma from a 5 to a 6 at the background step. In the background step you have to bump the lower of the two scores, and the other score besides charisma is resolve, so it is the lower of the two stats, so you should be bumping resolve under this current build, not charisma. Finally, in step 7 you say you get 8 ranks, but you spend 9.

there may be other edits, but that was what jumped out at me.

Thank you very much. I will redistribute my ability scores to avoid these issues.

The corrected build sheet has been added to the Onedrive link with the tag line Revision 1.

rebuild still appears to have some stat build out issues, with the first three being 4,4,5, in design, but 4, 5, 4 at the end write up, and 4,4,6 in the 1.5 build out. other than that the initial creation seems sound. Looking at the advancement has issues though since you need Eclectic Knowledge for bard, but don't have it in the initial build, so the chosen advancement doesn't seem to work. Also it states under the skill advancements that you are getting 7 skills each time, but it should only be 6 with an insight of 5. Also, in looking at the character sheet, it is unclear since it looks like perception has advanced once, but I don't think you ever advanced it under the current build design.
