I'm one of the character judges, so eventually I'll be looking it over anyway.Let's add two numbers after each of these. The first is the ability modifier, which is the form in which an ability score is usually used, and will help fill in the rest of the sheet. If the raw score is 10 or 11, the modifier is 0. Otherwise, the modifier is plus or minus half the difference. The second is the point buy cost for each score, which you'll never need to pay any attention to yourself but will help the judges confirm that the ability scores are correct. Thus:[code][B]Str:[/B] 14 (+2) [6pt][B]Dex:[/B] 16 (+3) [10pt][B]Con:[/B] 12 (+1) [4pt][B]Int:[/B] 14 (+2) [6pt][B]Wis:[/B] 10 (+0) [2pt][B]Cha:[/B] 10 (+0) [2pt][/code]BAB (Base Attack Bonus) is given by the table at <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/ranger.htm" target="_blank">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/ranger.htm</a> -- for a 1st level ranger, it's +1. (Actually, as long as you stay a ranger it'll be straightforward -- BAB is just your level. But for some other classes, it'll be less.)Grapple is BAB + Str modifier, in this case +3.Initiative is Dex modifier, in this case +3.ACP (armour check penalty) is usually based on armour and shield (if any), according to the table at <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/armor.htm#armorDescriptions" target="_blank">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/armor.htm#armorDescriptions</a> -- for a chain shirt, ACP is -2.For HP (hit points) you should have 9 (1d8+1). The "1" is your level: you get one hit die per level. The "d8" is because you're a ranger (see under "Hit Die" at the top of <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/ranger.htm" target="_blank">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/ranger.htm</a>). The "+1" is Con modifier. At first level, you get the full amount of the hit die, so you calculate 8+1=9. At subsequent levels you get 3/4 (special LEW rule), so you'll calculate 6+1=7 and therefore add 7 HP when you reach second level. But by then hopefully you'll have it all figured out.Your Armour bonus is +4 (from the table at <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/armor.htm#armorDescriptions" target="_blank">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/armor.htm#armorDescriptions</a>). Your Shield bonus is +0, since you don't have a shield. Your Dex bonus is +3 (from the top of this sheet). Your Size is +0 (half-elves are medium-sized). Nat is +0 (half-elves don't have natural armour), and Misc is +0 (no other miscellaneous modifiers apply). Add it all up: Total is 17.For Touch, don't count armour or shield -- they don't matter against touch attacks. For Flatfooted, don't count Dex -- it won't help you if someone attacks before you can react. So, those should be 13 and 14 respectively.Get the Base saves from the table at <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/ranger.htm" target="_blank">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/ranger.htm</a> : +2,+2,+0 respectively. The Mod column is for the ability modifiers: Con, Dex, Wis respectively, so +2,+3, +0. No miscellaneous modifiers apply, so those should all be 0. Add them up for the Total column: +4,+5,+0.Attack modifier is BAB+ability -- with Weapon Finesse, the ability modifier should be Dex in both those cases. So, +4 instead of +0.Dagger damage is d4, not d6. However, both melee weapons (e.g. rapier) and thrown weapons (e.g. dagger) give you a strength modifier (in your case +2) to damage. So, 1d6+2 for rapier and 1d4+2 for dagger.</blockquote>
