Just adjust one of your Trained skills to have a +2 bonus instead of a +4 and we'll be good.

On that note, I'm not clear if you've re-done your skills based on the house rule I set up. Can you verify how many trained skills you're supposed to have and which ones you've chosen?

Below is before you skill change that I hadn't done.
___________________________________________________________________________________
I have a total of 16 Class skills:

Pointman Class Skills (10 Skills): Bluff, Bureaucracy, Craft, Diplomacy, Driver, First Aid, Knowledge, Profession, Sense Motive, Sport
Versatility (6 Skills): Culture, Gather Information, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Languages, Spot

18 Skill Points: (2 skill points used for Background)
Bluff +4, Bureaucracy +1, Cultures +1, Diplomacy +1, Gather Information +1, Handle Animal +1, Intimidate +4, Sense Motive +1, Spot +4

Department Skill Bonus: +1 to Diplomacy, +1 Intimidate

Note: The Skills listed on the character are all Class Skills and none are Cross-Class Skills.

The change you made:

SKILLS
You have a limited amount of skill points, and you have certain skills you NEED TO HAVE. Because of this, you're going to almost always end up with a number of skills at max ranks, and a number that have no ranks at all. To simplify skills, and make your agents slightly more capable, do not buy skill ranks. Instead:
-- If your class says that you gain 4+Int mod skill points per level, you instead gain 4+Int mod Trained Skills. Trained Skills have a bonus of your level +3.
-- Untrained skills will gain a bonus equal to half your level, rounded up.
-- If you have a negative Int mod, you do NOT subtract it, you simply get no extra trained skills.
____________________________________________________________________________________

Results???: I have 16 Class skills. Pointman has 6 + INT.

So now I have:
6 Class Skills at Rank 4 (Base 3 + 1 (My level))
10 Class Skills at ???
All the Cross-Class Skills at 1 Rank (Half my level rounded up.)

How do I handle "(2 skill points used for Background)"

You'll have 6 trained skills at rank 4 (level + 3).
All other skills are rank 1 (0 + 1/2 level rounded up).
Your first background is free. If you want another, just lower the bonus of one of your Trained skills by the cost (in this case, 2).

Cool. I redid over the skills. I put in a spot for languages that he knows. I dropped one of the ranks to 2 to account for the extra background. Put in Wounds value in and put in a spot to account for damages when they happen.
