01-26-08, 12:44 PM I'm having trouble with what goes where on my Char Sheet, does anyone have examples they can share of rogues, middle level characters, and especially any character using the NEC Ultimate Character Sheet?

Thanks!

01-26-08, 02:10 PM Good info, but a little more basic than I was thinking- and he kind of glossed over the info I'm looking for.

Example Questions:
Fortitude
Total: ?
Ability (CON:14): +2
Class (Rogue): +3
Race (Halfling): +2

Is my total 7? What does that mean in game terms?

Melee
Total: ?
Multiple Attack 2nd: ?
Class (Rogue): +7
Ability (STR 12): +1
Size: +1

Is the total 9? Since the class is +7/+2 should I put 4 in Multi 2nd? (a total instead of say "+2" or "-5")

Skill Move Silently:
Check Penalty: ? (Masterwork Studded Leather with a Masterwork Shield, say)
Total: ?
Ranks: 12
Ability: 5
Race: +2

Is the total 19? If there is a check penalty do I put it in total or subtract it based on what I'm wearing ("I strip down to breeches and sneak into the church.")

Finally some misc:
SR Spell Resist
DR Damage Reduction
INIT Initiative

How do I figure SR, DR, and INIT? I understand initative is now a higher number (I'm from 1d6 days IIRC) is better/faster.

Thanks for all the help, I'm trying to prepare for a game Tomorrow, as a new 10th level I don't want to go in with a char sheet that is all jacked and spend game time having people help me.

Fortitude
Total: ?
Ability (CON:14): +2
Class (Rogue): +3
Race (Halfling): +2

Yes, your total is 7. To get any total, you add up all relevent bonuses.

Melee
Total: ?
Multiple Attack 2nd: ?
Class (Rogue): +7
Ability (STR 12): +1
Size: +1

Is the total 9? Since the class is +7/+2 should I put 4 in Multi 2nd? (a total instead of say "+2" or "-5")

The Class Base A slot is 7, the Class Base B slot is 2.

The total is 9. You should put the total bonus of the second attack in the Multiple Attack 2nd slot (4).

Skill Move Silently:
Check Penalty: ? (Masterwork Studded Leather with a Masterwork Shield, say)
Total: ?
Ranks: 12
Ability: 5
Race: +2

Is the total 19? If there is a check penalty do I put it in total or subtract it based on what I'm wearing ("I strip down to breeches and sneak into the church.")

It depends. Do you normally strip to your breeches to sneak in? If you'll normally do that, then don't add the Armor Check Penalty. If you expect to wear armor for most if not all checks, add it in the total. The Armor Check Penalty for all armor and shields is in the Player's Handbook. The total ACP is the ACP of worn armor plus the ACP of a carried shield. You also get ACP from carrying a medium or heavy load, if I recall correctly, as stated in the Adventuring chapter. If you don't have a Player's Handbook handy, you can check the SRD in my sig.

Finally some misc:
SR Spell Resist
DR Damage Reduction
INIT Initiative

How do I figure SR, DR, and INIT? I understand initative is now a higher number (I'm from 1d6 days IIRC) is better/faster.

SR and DR are only granted through special abilites, spells, or magic items. They stand for Spell Resistance and Damage Reduction respectively. Initiative is your Dexterity Mod plus any modifiers (Improved Initiative feat, Class Features, etc.)

Thanks for all the help, I'm trying to prepare for a game Tomorrow, as a new 10th level I don't want to go in with a char sheet that is all jacked and spend game time having people help me.

No problem. You can PM me with any other questions. (or post to this thread. I have a bad habit of not following up on threads I post in though, so PMing me is probably best.)

01-26-08, 09:41 PM Really? You approve of that one?

I had to tweak it a bit (Old Skool: scissors and a copier!) but it was clearly better organized than anything else I downloaded.

I might request a custom char sheet once I figure out if my changes work or are all silly.

Thanks Neceros!

I'm interested in what changes you've made to the sheet. It's really easy to make Acrobat show bits and peices of a sheet depending on what you want with layers, in Acrobat 6 and up.

If you are able, upload the changed sheet or email it to me and I'll see if I can add it directly to the sheet. :)
