In my Pathfinder Society game I'm playing locally, I'm doing a Human Fighter who specialized strongly into grapple, but at level 4 (or sooner) I'll be multi-classing into Wizard.  Which is ridiculous since I got in full plate, but Wizard gives me spells like Animal Aspect Gorilla which grants a massive +4 to grapple rolls, and Bull's Strength grants +4 strength.  Not to mention the King Crab familiar, which grants a passive +2 to grapple.  So despite how much of a bad idea this is, at simple level 1 of wizard I get a +2 to my CMB for grapple and that alone makes it worth the level.

So what, you can't pick a good multi class for your barbarian?  Get creative man!  Barbarians don't wear much armor, if any, so they're prime for light spellcasting.  Even level 1 gets you an unlimited number of 0-level spells and like 2 1st levels.  Get an item of enhanced intelligence and you can push that further, and wizards also get a selected school of magic and get +1 prepared spell per day to that school, of every rank they can cast.  IE - prepare 1 more 0 level, prepare 1 more 1st level, but can't prepare any 2nd level unless you have the Int to support an additional 2nd level spell, or a high enough wizard level.  I mean, Shield is a 1st level spell that gives +4 AC.  Mage Armor is another 1st level that gives another +4.  12 Int gets you +1 1st level spell per day, and chosen school grants another +1 for wizards.  So right there, a level 1 wizard with 12 int can cast 3x 1st level spells.

There's several classes where 1 rank into multi is a great help.

You're gonna have to either buy it for seven bucks (lel) or manually translate the fields into a text sheet.  You can also do that without making one in trovetokens.

Go to Generate Character Sheet, then it'll open a new window/tab.  At the top, go to File, and Save Page As - this will let you save the page as a .html file, which you can then toss around like a regular file.

If that doesn't work, then just open notepad and write down everything.

I really don't feel like multiclassing as a spellcaster for my first game :P I play Bard in every video game that uses DnD actually. But it's a video game, not tabletop.

I decided go for up close and personal so my CHR and INT sucks but I still have an average WIS, in case we face a spellcaster baddie so I don't tear my teammates into pieces. I think I'll go for Ranger.

So, what Traits are for? Nvm, some Googling did the trick.

I guess we are going to have to write everything down to a .txt file.

Traits give some minor bonuses and penalties, and help further define your character.

Traits are essentially just what they sound like.  Give you small tweaks and buffs to very specific situations.  Like, there's some sort of Jungle Explorer trait that lets you move through jungle terrain more easily.  You may pick 2 total, of the regular traits or racial traits.

Can't find file?  I have no idea about chrome.  I guess just start notepad-ing.

Now depending on what level the game starts in there are some classes that are flat out broken that luckly fall off the truck later on.

The Alchemist for example has his fire bombs which are broken in the early game, yet fall off of usefulness later on.

In fact they are so broken that I spent hours trying to find the rules that balance it.

We're starting at level 1, so I don't know.

Then yeah alchemist is still really broken.

Mind you, I don't think anyone will be playing it.

Though they need to get to level 3 apperantly. Also reading up they changed the wording on the site I went to. Originally the way it was written the bomb I was referencing NEVER estinguishes (but always does 1d6 unmodified damage).

It still is the most powerful bomb in the game though. A modifier of +3 with a 1d6 bomb does... 2d6+6 with a touch. a 5 modifier with a 4d6 bomb does... 5d6+25.

So I retract my statement of being overpowered. Now that the wording changed on my reference site. It is no longer super broken.

Okay so I am making a character. Gosh I have forgotten so much. Now I have to work out what to spend my money on...
I couldn't find socks on that list. :-\ (Yes, I am playing a dwarf.)
Also, growing/farming would just be bunged in under a 'profession' skill, right?
