Same, put it in Handle Animal. Thanks to everyone for posting the info. I never created a 1st level character that had quite so many options. Hopefully I haven't un-optimized my character already
Ok, so I've missed questions about favored class bonuses, but they've been answered. Another thing to add is that Perception (Spot, Search, and Listen rolled into one) is the single most useful skill in PF. PF does not penalize for cross-class nearly as much as 3.5 did.
I think I came up with an idea for why Nexendia is a noble. First I thought of being found as a child and I became a ward of the family but with being over a century old that seemed kind of lame. So I came up with the idea that she met and fell in love with one of the nobles of the house. She happily married him and everything was going great for xx number of years. She even had a child or two with him. He was one of the nobles who were spearheading expeditions into the wilds to expand territory and open trade routes. But one day he and his men were killed or vanished (I'm leaning towards horribly killed). After mourning his death (or waiting for a couple of years for any word of his survival) she decides she must continue his work for the future of the family (or find him, herself) and their child(ren).
