"+3 to Skills" question

I've been reading this thread: Spatten's Double Swing Guide. And I've encountered things like: "With +3 to skills, you'll get 75% increased stamina", "I'm going to assume that you put 20 points in your war cry of choice and have +3 to skills", "With +3 skill adders".

What exactly does he mean by +3 to skills? I thought he meant having Grand Charm Skillers, but they only add +1 to skills. Also, if he meant Echoing Weapons: they are, I think, useful only when buffering aura-based warcries (BO, BC) so that's not it either (I gather these unknown items would benefit *every* skill).
So what is he referring to?

Re: "+3 to Skills" question

he's referring to any combination of +skills from gear or charms that adds up to 3.

He means that you equipment gives you +3 to skills in total. 3 Skillers would give +3 skills, +2 skills amulet + Stone of Jordan would give +3 skills etch.

Edit: And the cow won. How do you type so fast, I have fingers and can`t do that

3 Skillers would give +3 skills

I don't think he (the author) did it with charms. He talks about having +3 to ALL skills, whereas Grand Charms only give +1 to ONE skill tree. That means he carries NINE GC's with him (3 for +3 skills, multiplied by 3 skill trees). I think that's highly unlikely.

He means this: "For the numbers below, I'm going to assume that you put 20 points in your war cry of choice and have +3 to skills. "

One SoJ and one Mara's, for example. There are a dozen ways to get +3 to all skills. As far as I can tell, it's an arbitrary way to complicate the guide. Or maybe it somehow makes it easier, I don't know, I didn't read the whole thing.

@sirpoops: heh, and I took enough time to read part of the linked guide. XD

No, it means he has a Harlequin Crest and a Highlord's Wrath... or some other such combination that provides a total of +3 to All skills.

Edit: Beaten to the punch.
