Skill Points Problem

Hi,

Sorry for the constant queries. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. I'm having an issue with the skill points of my new PC. At level 6, after allocating all of the skill points I'm using, I'm coming up with 6 remaining instead of 8 which is what both the CBC spreadsheet and my own math say should remain. A Barbarian 2, Fighter 4  with 14 intelligence, that started on Barbarian, should have 24 at first level + 16 for 4 levels of fighter, + 6 for an additional level of Barbarian which equals 46. At Level 6 I've allocated 9 intimidate, 9 listen, 9 taunt, 9 discipline, and 2 lore which equals 38. This equates to a difference of 8 (the number of points that should be remaining). I first checked if I had accidentally allocated 2 points to a cross-class skill. I suspected Lore, but this is a class skill for both classes. I can't see what else could have gone wrong. All of the class skills were on 4 at character creation except lore which was on 2. I thought that the only skill I increased during levels 2-5 was discipline, but I must have thought wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Eltalstro

I’m curious if you were putting points in Listen while taking fighter levels since Listen is only a cross-class skills for fighter. That might explain the missing 8 skill points.

It's possible, Tobias. I'm actually only missing 2, though. I was quite careful, but it's pretty certain there must be user error involved somewhere.

Tobias:
 What is the breakdown of your levels? Was it lvl 1 and 2 were taking as Barbarian? If so the max  Listen skill you could have would be 5 (4 for level 1 and  the 5th point at level 2).  If you then took 4 levels in fighter then any points put into Listen would have been considered cross-class and you wouldn't have been able to add any points in Listen as it would have been maxed due to the skill being cross-classed.

Also, did you start out with 14 intel?
