What's the deal with non-weapon profeciencies? How many do you get with a priest-type in 3rd? What are the dwarven stat modifiers? What is the preist dice roll in 3rd?

OK, slight change of plan for me. I've gone with a Fighter this time to keep things realtively simple.

How does that look?

Things I need to know, and couldn't find in the PHB:
How much starting gold do I get?
What are my carrying capacities?

How many do you get with a priest-type in 3rd?
2+Int modifier / level
4*(2+Int modifier) at first level

What are the dwarven stat modifiers?
+2 Con, -2 Cha

What is the preist dice roll in 3rd?
1d8

Yeah but I don't think AD&D has a samurai class, except maybe in Oriental Adventures. So that means you can't really make a finesse fighter like you want to without the necessary skills and feats.

Yes, there is one in Oriental.

Thanks, Ellestar! nearly done now....

I fancy some Barbarism. Is this OK?

Tantallon Dirle

Human Barbarian

Chaotic Good

Str: 16 +4 melee, +3 damage
Dex: 14 +3 missile, +2 AC, +2 Reflex save
Con: 16 15hp, +12 per level
Int: 10 20 skill points, +5 per level
Wis: 10
Cha: 10

Two feats, just give me something to up my melee power and something to boost my defence/hit points.

Skillswise, some sort of danger sense, maybe a second language, wilderness survival and running.

[SlowwHand]

Ok. I want to be a Human Ranger.
These attributes are given numbers to total what number ?
Strength
Dexterity
Constitution
Intelligence
Wisdom
Charisma

[Jon Miller]

you buy attributes

you have 32 points

check the point cost in the first post

Some help for Sloww

Name - name your character
Class - Ranger
Alignment - dictates how you will play your character. I wouldn't worry about this, post more later...
Sex - what sex do you want to play
Race - what race do you want to play

Stats.

Str
Dex
Con
Int
Wis
Chr

Initially these stats are out of 18. If you play a race either than human there will be maximum stat adjustments per that race.

str determines how well you will fight in hand-to-hand combat

dex determines how well you balance as well as how well your aim will be with ranged weapons

-dependent on whether you want to play a hand-to-hand fighter type or a range weapon type, maximize accoringly-

con determines physical endurance and well dictate how well you take damage

Int determines your book smarts, not really necessary for a ranger

Wis determines your "street smarts" or for a ranger your "wilderness smarts", this will influence your character greatly

Chr determines your influence and likability to non-player characters (npc's)

As a Ranger you should max str/dex and wis, then dependent on how you want to play your character focus on the others; con if you want to be tough, int if you want to be wise (and maybe multiclass to a wizard or bard), and chr if you want to be devinare...

You start with each stat value at 8, and than adjust per the point system as it was stated... if you want to play a certain race other than human, make the adjustment after you have tallied your stats. Thus, if you give yourself an 18 dex, and your race gives a +2 to dex, you then have a 20 dex...

[SlowwHand]

Ok. I see.
Human Ranger, good if that comes into play.
Strength = 14 (cost of 6) +3 melee, +2 damage
Dexterity = 14 (cost of 6) +3 missile, +2 AC, +2 Reflex save
Constitution = 13 (cost of 5) 11 hp (+8/level), +3 Fort save
Intelligence = 13 (cost of 5) 24 skill points (+6/level)
Wisdom = 14 (cost of 6) +2 Will save
Charisma = 12 (cost of 4)

I guess this will do. Where'a name generator site ?

[Jon Miller]

looks good

since there is no reason to have 13 instead of 12 constitution I would recommend getting your bonus attribute for constitution on level 4

In 3rd, does the Priest still get a 10%exp bonus w/ a wisdom of 16?
