He's just bearing the -4 penalty. Look at his Craft (basketweaving) ranks, it must offset that.

Anointed Knight: Your ancestors have been basketweavers since the beginning of time, you have an ancestral basket that was handed to you by your father on his death bed. The basket is sentient and far wiser than you.

Tattooed Monk: You have a tattoo of a basket (some evil tongues say it looks more like a full moon) on your forehead, it helps you concentrate on basketweaving in the darkest hours. Luck bonus on skills checks (ie. basketweaving) at night.

And would Righteous Wrath enable the barbarian basketweavers to continue weaving baskets even when they have their fits? I don't have BoED with me right now and can't remember whether it allowed you to use all skills while raging?

EDIT: Looks like Righteous Wrath might be out, nothing about being able to use skills in the benefits, just nonsense like being able to deal nonlethal damage (and I'm not seeing anything in the Barbarian rage description saying you couldn't deal nonlethal in the first place). Oh well. What about Words of Creation?

I came up with a basket-weaving build that could defeat the Twice-Betrayer of Shar a while back.

Perform: Weapon Drills (Basket) Should be made essential to any serious basketweaver. It should also be mandatory for his followers, if he has leadership. This may be worth another skill focus, even.

In that case, you need some levels of Exotic Weapon Master for the show-off ability.

Ok, here's the Ancestral Basket Weaver:

Human Commoner 10/Anointed Knight 10
1 Skill Focus (basket weaving), Able Learner
3 Ancestral Relic
6 Heroic Destiny
9 Trophy Collector
11-20 Lots of combat feats

Able Learner so he is guaranteed to always know craft: basket weaving, the Ancestral Relic is naturally a basket. Heroic Destiny is amazing, +1d6 to a basket weaving check every day! Trophy Collector taken on the off chance that the DM lets him weave trophies into his baskets. Starting at 11th level he starts collecting AK bonus feats which unfortunately don't really improve his basket weaving much.

And then the Ancestral Basket:

Basket (Int 14 Wis 10 Cha 14)

Skills: Intimidate 12, bluff 12, speaks common, draconic, and abyssal
Special abilities: Dancing, Sizing, Morphing, Blindsighted, Aquatic, Ghost Touch, Smoking, Hideaway, Parrying, Spellblade, and about 120,000 gold coins worth of other enhancements
Hardness: 10 higher than normal masterwork basket
Hit points: 50 more than normal masterwork basket

The Item Familiar feat seems like a must for any true Basket Weaver. It allows you to invest skills, spells and life force in to your primary basket and gain bonuses to craft and XP for making it better!

Your basket becomes sentient, and eventually can gain greater powers and a purpose! What's more perfect than that? When you lose the Ego battle eventually, you don't care, because the special purpose is just to create more baskets anyway....
