>Summary: OS token SKILLPOINTS wrong value [_exp 7059]

Initial Comment:
I have discovered the following bug: The OS tokens SKILLPOINTS.TOTAL and 
SKILLPOINTS.USED calculate erroneous values if a character has ranks in 
a skill that has a conditional subskill. Theses totals then include 
those ranks twice, once for the main skill, and again for the subskill.

For example: I have a druid in my party. He is human, 3rd level and has 
an Intelligence score of 14, so he should have 44 skill points in total. 
However, the token gives the value as 46. He has two ranks in Survival, 
and since he is a druid he gets a conditional subskill "Survival 
(Natural Environment)" where he has a +2 bonus. This is also listed with 
2 ranks, and these 2 ranks are figured into the total.

Someone please tracker this bug, and assign it to me.

Regards,
Stefan.

I don't think it was trackered.  That suggestion I put out on _exp never
went anywhere (needs to be revived).

Tir, have we got a proposal tracker floating around that I can reference?

This is more of a concept thing with the conditional subskills. Currently
there is no such thing; as far as the code is concerned, all skills are
created equal. As such, the code has no way to distinguish betweens "real"
skillranks that come from the pcg file and "false" skillranks that data
assigns to these conditional subskills via BONUS:SKILLRANK. Currenty it is
not possible to distinguish these without making assumptions about the
structure of data files, which is bad.

Tir has made a propsal to define a tag PARENTSKILL to better create these
subskills, this would also help solving this problem.

Since it is currently not doable without a bad hack, I am setting
resolution to "later". We should take a look at Tir's concept and decide
how to go from there.
