[QUOTE="alazar14, post: 6759448, member: 6804733"] Hi guys, I'm fairly new to D&D (only played 4th edition a few weeks), and am looking for a bit of advice on making my new Bard character for 5th edition. I tried finding this info in the book, but am still a bit confused about it. So here is my scenario, I have made a level 1 bard, and chose for him to have a Long sword (1d8). I assume my attack bonus is +5 (2 proficiency and +3 STR), but now I'm wondering what is my bonus to hit? If the +5 is my bonus to damage, then what is my bonus to actually hit when I roll a D20? I know that I had more questions, but I'm drawing a blank right now, so I'll post them when I remember :) Thank you all! [/QUOTE]
