Yet another random pathfinder question.
I'm creating an intelligent item and I'm using the Herolab program. The item has 12 int,12 cha, and 18 wis. It also has skills - appraise, bluff, diplomacy, disguise, heal, intimidate, perception, sense motive, survival.
What should those skills base their points on? Items don't gain levels, so the skills won't increase by level due to int... but the skills themselves are keyed off of the mental scores... so the perception score for this item should be 4. Herolab, however, keyed the weapon's skills as simply my hero's corresponding modifier. My hero has a wisdom of 8, so the weapon has a perception of -1 instead of 5. It seems like the item should at least have bonuses based on its own capabilities, no? Is roleplay the sole purpose of giving the items int, cha, and wis? What am I missing? Or does herolab just have the programming incorrect?
Thanks
