[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 7566702, member: 28487"] I think that most of your questions, are already answered except the common rookie mistakes. So I will give it a go. For the most part the others and the DM should be understanding of your newbieness. For the most part frame your actions in character, so "I want to sneak up on the guard by going through those bushes over there" and the DM will tell you what dice to roll. However, thing will go much smoother if you familiarise yourself with a few numbers on the character sheet. Initiative (Init.) -- Generally D20 + your Dexterity modifier. Your attack roll -- Generally D20 + Proficiency Modifier + Strength Modifier: However, note that rogues often favour Dex over Str and there are finesse weapons that allow the use of the Dex mod on the attack roll instead of Str, so you might want to use one of those weapons. For a rogue, your perception skill and passive perception as well as stealth and the rules around sneak attack. Most of these numbers are pre-calculated on the character sheet (or should be) but note and familiarise yourself with where they are, so you can look them up with little delay. [/QUOTE]
