Okay Guys. Making a Character Is confusing... especially when you dont know wtf your doing... I have gotten some help of were to go but when i looked at this Guide it just made things worse.... SO! I want to ask if you to help out if you can.

Its simple realy all I want to know is the basic things i need to put on here! I have the Name class and level (evel 1 obviousely) the religion, alignment and all that. I think I have the ability scores. atm its...
STR 11
DEX 13
CON 17
INT 10
WIS 18
CHA 8 

Thats what the guide said i should start out with. If you think this is fine then i will leave it if i should make anything different okay. I am a Guardian Druid i Believe.

Being that i would like help with the combat options as well (noting this now can you please post the information in responce to how it is so first being the stats then any comment or no comment on my Guardian Druidness.... Then the Combat options next etc)

then Armor Class.


SPELLS!!! Okay Spells! the spell Save, any of the "spells known" "spells save DC" stuff....

wth is Psionics? and what should i put for it

RAGE!!! >:U

Okay i think my fav part.... The animal /ccompanion, familiar or psicrystal!!!!
How to chose my animal/companion, being a druid what kind of animal could/can i chose? just ink if you need or copy paste

Is this a 4e character or a 3.5 one?

WolfLordBran,
 
 Its a 4e character. He started a new thread, but the old thread is titled "First D&D Character D:".
 
 Edit: However, he said earlier that he was using a Pathfinder/3.5 character builder online, even though his friends play 4e. Couldn't find a 4e character generator i suppose.

Are those post race or before? because as it stands the point buy (if it is point buy) is off depending on which, anyway after racial bonus choice (presuming CON/WIS) it should be something similar to this based on your array and build choice (Guardian)

STR 11
CON 18
DEX 13
INT 10
WIS 18
CHA 8

Are you going PHB2 Druid or are you going Sentinel druid from the 'heroes of' product line?
With the PHB2 druid you don't get an animal companion, you get the wild shape abilty, if your a Sentinel Druid you lose the wildshape abilty but gain an animal companion (bear for defense, wolf for offense, exact fluff of what your animal is/looks like is up to you).
---
In terms of spells that are not class features like wildshape the PHB2 druid gets to choose all their powers.
At level 1 they get 3 at-wills due to a druid class feature allowing choice in at-will usage and the retaining of both caster and beastform at-will powers (other classes only get 2 as default), they also get the standard 1 encounter power, and 1 daily power.
at-wills can be used anytime, encounters can be used once per fight and recharge after a short rest, dailies require an extended rest to recharge, as you level you will get additional powers at a set rate ending up with 4 encounters/4 dailies/7 utilities including Paragon Path and Epic Destiny powers as default.
They can also cast rituals without spending a feat on it and gain 2 free rituals (animal messenger/one other of your choice). 
Will leave exact selection to the guide/char op/you depending on where you want to go with the druid and its area of influence, but as a guardian druid the slant is more towards caster/non beastform powers, at least in my opinion.

Sentinel Druids get 1 choosable at-will in addition to their animal companion's basic attack, a set encounter power (combined attack where both of you and your companion attack make a melee attack as part of a single action), and a choosable daily of your choice, previous char op/personal choice advice stands. The end number of encounter/daily/utilites does not change from the PHB2 druid I believe
They don't get ritual casting from the get go but have a baked in raise dead at lvl 8 which doesn't cost money which is very nice.

Spells no longer have 'save DCs', they target defences which you have to hit in the same way you hit AC
---
Do not worry about psionics at the moment, your primal and have no access to it as default from what I know.
---
Lastly AC, as a guardian or sentinel druid you have a class feature that lets you use CON instead of DEX/INT for calculating AC, anyway at lvl 1 with hide armour your AC should be 17 for PHB2 and 18 for Sentinel as default using the above example array.

The AC breakdown is this: 10 + Class bonus(+0) + armor bonus(+3/+4) + Ability score(+4) + 1/2 level (+0) + enhancment bonus (+0) + misc (+0)

Your other defences work on a similar level minus the armor bonus unless you have specific masterwork armor/enchantments that grants bonuses to other defences as well as AC, though you do often add class/racial bonuses instead.
Reflex benefits from the shield as default so add your shield bonus to that.
Unsure if you know this already or not so telling now, Fortitude can use eith STR or CON, Reflex can use DEX or INT, and Will can use either WIS or CHA.
