Background: DM here, some players were knighted so I added squires and serfs to their character sheets. Custom monster squires are noble with sidekicks levels while serfs are misc. commoners, both get 3d6 ability score rolled in order, backgrounds, racial/species traits, and all that are added so they do have skills.
Problem: Their skills will not consistently display for the players. If I delete everything and just give add eg Nature it might apply Proficiency bonus and ability modifier, or it might just apply the modifier to 0. If I put in the PB it may apply the ability modifier, it may not, it may double the PB, it may double the ability modifier. Whether it I should or shouldn’t try to add the PB is a complete mystery.
If you added them under the "Sidekicks" category, they're going to follow the sidekick rules from DOIP. If you want them to display exactly as you've entered them, I'd suggest adding them in the "Misc" category instead.

Thank you that does seem to fix it. How much is changed by by being sidekicks?

ModeratorNot sure off the top of my head. It's been a while since I've read those rules. 😅
They're linked above, though, if you want to read them for yourself.
