OverLord_Caim 02-27-08, 06:29 PM	I'm new to making characters in Dungeons and Dragons even though I've being playing for 6 years. My friend makes the character sheets and I have no clue how to do this if someone can do this for me it would be greatly appricated Ive tried and failed on several occasions
CrimsonDeath 02-27-08, 07:17 PM	What are you having trouble with?
Orenmir 02-28-08, 10:43 AM	Pick Race Choose Alignment Roll Ability Scores (don't forget bonus 2 points) Assign Skill Ranks Choose Feats Buy Gear (not necessarily in that order) Which part are you failing with?
OverLord_Caim 02-28-08, 10:54 AM	Ive looked in the players hand book and still have no clue what im doing I should have figure out how to do this 6 years ago but I didn't
Orenmir 02-28-08, 10:56 AM	Ive looked in the players hand book and still have no clue what im doing I should have figure out how to do this 6 years ago but I didn't Without more details about exactly what you're having trouble with, we really can't help you. The PHB is pretty clear on character creation, if you ask me.
OverLord_Caim 02-28-08, 11:02 AM	for aguments sake lets say I rolled the highest for all rolls and Im level 11 what now i am clueless
Orenmir 02-28-08, 11:42 AM	for aguments sake lets say I rolled the highest for all rolls and Im level 11 what now i am clueless MORE DETAILS!!! You're clueless about what?... You don't know where to write down your Str score? You don't know how to determine you're ability score modifiers? You don't know how many HPs you have? You can't find any feats? You don't know how many skill ranks you have? You don't know what your BAB is? You can't figure out your saving throw mods? Also, let us know details about your character: Race? Ability Scores? Weapons (if any)? Combat Style? Gear? Help us help you.
OverLord_Caim 02-28-08, 11:51 AM	Race - Human Ablity scroe - 20 for all(somehow) weapon - None Combat Style - Ninjitsu??? Gear - Nothing basically i need help with the first page of the character sheet itself Ive never done this before
Orenmir 02-28-08, 12:11 PM	basically i need help with the first page of the character sheet itself Ive never done this before Where it says "Name" - you put your character's name. Where it says "Player" - you put your name. Where it says "Race" - you put Human. Where it says "Class" - you put Monk. Where it says "Level" - you put 11. Where it says "Str" - you put a 20. Where it says " Dex" - you put a 20. ...... Seriously, is this what you're having trouble with? A kindergartener can do it. If this is not what you're having trouble with, you need to tell me exactly what it is. Otherwise, I really can't help you.
OverLord_Caim 02-28-08, 12:43 PM	I need help with the Ac the Hp the Intiative the save throws and thats about it right there
Orenmir 02-28-08, 01:08 PM	I need help with the Ac the Hp the Intiative the save throws and thats about it right there PERFECT!!!! Thank you! AC = 20 Init = +5 All Saves = +12 Here are the calculations... AC = 10 + Dex mod + Wis mod (because you are a Monk) AC = 10 + 5 + 5 Initiative = Dex mod (5) Fort Save = Base + Con mod Refl Save = Base + Dex mod Will Save = Base + Wis mod In all cases, your base save for a Monk is +7 at 11th level, and all your ability mods are +5. For your HPs... Roll a d8 10 times and add 63. The calculation: d8 + Con mod (5) per level, first level is max (8+5). Ask your DM about alternative HP acquisition methods. A standard substitute is to take the average of the die roll after level 1. In you case, this would give you 103 HPs {8 + 5 at level one, 4.5 +5 per level after that; (8+5)+10(4.5+5)=103}. Does that help? Now, you might have some feats that alter these stats. What feats have you chosen?
OverLord_Caim 02-28-08, 01:13 PM	what about hp? and thank you so much you have helped me out so much much thanks

My friend makes the character sheets and I have no clue how to do this if someone can do this for me it would be greatly appricated Ive tried and failed on several occasions So, do you have to have only monk levels?
CrimsonDeath 02-28-08, 04:45 PM	So, do you have to have only monk levels? If this guy can't calculate his armor class, I'm not sure we need to throw multiclassing at him.
eamon 02-28-08, 06:12 PM	I don't think the character development forum is the best place for this, but a monk also gains AC as he levels, as the table on the monk page will tell you. Your AC will thus be 1 higher per five monk levels. Basically, take a look at the table on the monk page, and jot down all the numbers of the appropriate row (that of the 11th level). Though your current level determines the numbers, you have all the abilities of not just 11th level, but also those of lower levels (which are higher on the page). I don't think it will be possible to explain this online, however.
