[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 5937451, member: 6669048"] I tried cracking this nut a few days ago to engineer a human rogue (one of my players always plays rogues but hates playing halflings due to a bad experience of the group constantly lifting him up by his feet and shaking him to make sure he's not hiding treasure from them even though he never once gave any indication either in character or out that he was doing so), but I didn't get near this far. I did want to point out some things that might help, though. Races and Classes give attribute bonuses, typically +1 each. This looks to be fixed by subrace for the races, but not sure if it's variable for classes (like getting +1 Dex for a duelist or archer build rather than +1 Str) Races also give various bonuses to specific weapons and attack types, but I'm not sure if it's tied to the race or the subrace. Themes give feats and bonuses to attack/damage/etc. I'm betting the Slayer theme is what gives the fighter the extra +2 damage. I also agree with Mengu that the +1 to hit for magic attacks for the wizard is more likely the magic user theme than the race. Backgrounds seem to be giving skills, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it giving equipment just yet. Really, we just don't have enough information at this point to tell what bonuses are causing what until we either get more pregens to dissect or someone from WotC spills the beans. [/QUOTE]
