That's the entire list, now there are a few things that need explaining.

A) How do skills work? They work like everything else in DnD -SIMPLE- e.g: You have to jump over a chasm. You're character takes a long run and jumps (Now what happens Out game: Slasher makes a roll with a D20 to that he adds your Strength score and the number of ranks you have in Jump, If this TOTAL number exceeds the required difficulty class (shortened to DC) you make it, else you fall into the chasm)

For DC's it generally works like this
DC 10 Easy
DC 15 Normal
DC 20 Hard
DC 30 Almost undoable
DC 50 Godlike

B) What does Take 10 or 20 mean? Some skills allow you to do a "take 10" or a "take 20" This means that your character has a relatively large amount of time up to 1 minute per check, she can devote to the skillcheck at hand. Then instead of rolling (and risk failing) you can do a take 10 or 20. Which replaces the result of the D20 roll by 10 or 20. as you all saw this is not always allowed. It is NEVER ALLOWED DURING COMBAT

C) Critical Failure and succes. A natural 1 on the D20 is ALWAYS A MISS, a natural 20 is ALWAYS A SUCCES. This is done to factor in "luck". NO matter how good you are you can always screw up.

D) Certain skills can not be used untrained, untrained means you have no ranks in that certain skill.
These skills are: Decipher Script, Disable Device, Handle Animal, Knowledge, Open Lock, Profession, Sleight of hand, Spellcraft, Tumble and Swim Use Magic Device

E) Armour Check Penalty: Some skills become a lot harder when you are wearing armour.
These skills are: Balance, Climb, Escape artist, Jump, Hide, Move Silently, Sleight of Hand, Tumble and Swim

Which classes get which skills I will post later on

Any questions just ask

(you already have all those skills) you can perform nearly all of those things already. except for these:
Decipher Script, Disable Device, Handle Animal, Knowledge, Open Lock, Profession, Sleight of hand, Tumble and Swim, Use Magic Device.

All other skills you can do without buying ranks in it. (just put 4 ranks) in the skills you think fit your character best

you have 32 points, which you can trade in for 1 rank per point (with a max of 4 ranks per skill)

Just choose 8 skills with Dex then and list them here (just the name) with +4 behind it
