07-31-04, 05:09 AM Do you actually have 5 fighter levels now, or is your Equivalent Character Level (ECL) 5? How many actual levels of fighter do you have? I'm guessing you're ECL 5, as your attack bonus with the bow is only listed as 4, which would mean your Base Attack Bonus is 2. And also you list your total Will save bonus as +2, and your Wisdom modifier is +2.

So, assuming you have 2 fighter levels and a level adjustment (LA) of +3, you will be going from Ftr2 to Ftr3. So you'll roll 1d10 for hit points and add your Constitution modifier (+3). You'll gain one point of base attack bonus, so all of your attack bonuses will increase by 1. You will also gain +1 to your Reflex and Will saves.

And you will gain a total of 5 skill points (2 from the class +2 from Intelligence +1 from being human), which you can use to increase any of the skills listed as class skills for the fighter in the Player's Handbook. You could also increase a skill that is not in that list, but it would cost two points for every one point that you increase it by. The maximum skill RANKS (does not include bonuses, only how many points you actually spent to raise the skill) you can have in any one CLASS skill is 5. Any cross class skills you have can only have half that many ranks in them.

Also, I would suggest reading through the Player's Handbook and familiarizing yourself with the basic rules of the game. Happy gaming.

do you have long term plans? some PrC you would like to be in the future? a plan for the way your character would play? it depends if you want to be an archer, a little bit of a wizard for buffing up, or a streight hack-and-slash fighter. i suggest maybe a few levels in cleric. you still get a decent BAB, more Will, and alittle healing fir yourself. maybe lookin the Complete Warrior. there you can find many Prc's for fighters.

07-31-04, 06:15 AM was thinking going sorcerer after I did several fighter. I joined a game when the were at level 4 and there both sorcerer. hack and slash has never been my thing or I would have done barbarian. maybe bard or rougue. choices=bard, rougue, sorcerer,cleric.

p.s. my dm didn't do anything when a half bue dragon waltz'd into town very near a desert where I would have percieved some sort of dragon den to be near by. even the most tolerent village would have trouble with something that might have terrorized the village atleast once.
