SENSEI, DO WE ASSIGN THE ROLLS TO WHICHEVER STATS WE WANT?

No. It's classic DnD style- that is, 3d6 "down the line", as they say.

Meet Burkha. She's incapable of perceiving the letter E. Do we roll for HP ourselves, or is that left up to the GM?

I'll roll HP. Your first level, however, you always get the maximum of your hit die. Edit: Also, go ahead and equip yourself, and choose your feat. Mind you, you won't get a bonus feat of not perceiving the letter E.

Well, there go my dreams of making y MIGHTY DORF WARRIOR
Whatever, I'l improvise then. Sheet should be up tommorow, maybe today? I need to get a concept going and I think I'd rather see what everyone else chooses first.

You might as well be a not-so-mighty dwarf warrior, you could use the CON bonus desperately.

Eh, I'l take a Dorf, but I propably won't use Warrior. Defintelly Rogue now.
EDIT: Meet Urist Stickyfingers. Mind telling me what to do next?

[lawastooshort]

I might have to be a wizard.

[darkpaladin109]

A bit early to put up the IC thread, when we haven't even finished making our sheets yet.

[lawastooshort]

I might have to be a wizard.

Er, how do you be a wizard?

I will be human, so what two feats should I pick? Or shouldn't I be human? Arg!

[Sensei]

If anyone needs help with their character, I can do that. After a little while, churning out first level characters gets as easy as farting.

I might have to be a wizard.

Er, how do you be a wizard?

HOW TO BE A WIZARD (basically):
You know a limited number of spells, which are recorded in your spellbook. The list of spells is here, you get to know all 0-level spells and pick three 1st level spells. Also look at the table for the wizard class, it says you can cast 3 0-level spells and one first level spell per day if you are a 1st level wizard. You prepare spells each day, so basically, you choose spells you know to put in your spell slots.For example, if you have three 1st lvel spell slots, and you know the 1st level spells Mage Armor, Magic Missile and Charm Person, you can prepare to cast any of those spells up to three times or some combination thereof- say, a mage armor and two magic missiles. You don't get those spell slots back until the next day.

Note that you can actually cast a few more spells than on the wizard class table: if you look at the bonus spells table on this page, you'll see that a 15 in your casting attribute, intelligence, gives you an extra 1st and 2nd level spell. Since you don't know 2nd level spells yet, you can just put a 1st level spell in that slot. Effectively, as a 1st level wizard with 15 intelligence, you can cast three 1st level spells per day.

Most spells require material components- they either come from a spell component pouch (buy it once and then don't think about spell components) or the Eschew Material Components feat, which lets you ignore any spell components without a listed price. I recommend the latter. Also, as a wizard, you shouldn't wear armor because it gives you a chance to fuck up your spells. Use the mage armor spell and stay away from fighting when you can.

Also, since monster manual 1 is open, you can use races from there such as the gray elf. But only if you're a dirty, dirty power gamer.

Gray Elf Traits (Ex): These traits are in addition to the high elf
traits.
— +2 Intelligence, –2 Strength.

[Harry Baldman]

Hm. Quick question, is encumbrance something we take into account around these parts? I've heard of corners of the earth where people don't do that.

[lawastooshort]

Thanks very much. I am not a dirty dirty powergamer, unfortunately for me. I will get a sheet done as soon as I can.

[darkpaladin109]

So, what do I do now?

[notquitethere]

Wait, wait, wait, any monster? Or only humanoids or what? Interested parties wish to know.

EDIT: Meet Urist Stickyfingers. Mind telling me what to do next?

Here's what you need to do to finish your character:
-Fill in HP (you have 6-3=3)
-Fill in your speed (20 feet, or four squares, as a dwarf)
-Add your base saves from your class (you get a +2 to reflex saves)
-Get equipment. You'll want a weapon, armor, and maybe a shield. You have 150 gold. Remember that the armor check penalty applies to things like climbing and swimming and sneaking. As a dwarf, heavy armor does NOT slow you down.
-Put ranks in your skills. At first level you can put 4 ranks in a skill. As a rogue with an int of 1, you get 36 skill points. I recommend taking stuff like search, disable device, and open lock, as well as hide and move silently.
-Write down your 1d6 of sneak attack damage in your class features. You can sneak attack when flanking or the enemy doesn't notice you.
-Pick 1 feat. If you don't know what to take, just take weapon focus, it gives you an attack bonus with one kind of weapon.

[lawastooshort]

Hum, shall I be a human wizard (in which case I have to choose another feat and I don't know what) or a dwarf wizard, because, er.

This seems a lot more complicated than being a rogue

[darkpaladin109]

Alright, I'l finish my sheet tommorow.
