08-21-06, 02:10 AM I'm looking to make my own character sheet, and I want everything(or at least as close as I can get it) to have its own box. So what I'm looking for is;

all the different types of modifiers to skills;
(so far I have ranks, ability, synergy, racial, luck, competence, circumstance, and unnamed)

saving throws;
(so far I have Base, ability, magical, morale, and unnamed)

attack rolls;
(so far I have BAB, ability, enhancement)

and Armor class;
(so far I have armor, shield, dodge, dex, wis, natural, class, deflection, unnamed)

I know I'm missing some. Would you care to help me out?

08-21-06, 02:15 AM The wisdom bonus of the monk is an unnamed bonus for stacking purposes.
Magical is no bonus type. Different magical items can grand different boni, which is quite important 'cause it determines whether these stack or not.

Attacks can be increased by enhancemend boni (coming from magical weapons).

I believe morale is common for saves.

Some masterwork items grant circumstance boni of skills.

Dodge boni are quite important for AC.

Surely most of these boni exist for any roll, but I listed them with the most common application (at least IIRC).

And an unnamed bonus stacks with itself, does it not? I included it for ease of bookkeeping, and our resident monk always complains there isn't a slot for it.

Magical is no bonus type. Different magical items can grand different boni, which is quite important 'cause it determines whether these stack or not.

so then why is there a slot for it on the saves breakdown?

Most likely because it shall summarize the different boni granted by magic. But I never saw a bonus called "magical". Not even magical items grant magical boni. But I am not a hard core gamer, so I could be wrong.
So if you want to include the boni one by one there should be no need for the catch-it-all-magical-bonus any more, AFAIK.
