Super cool. Even a level one character has a lot of stuff! Plus, the herbal bitter that recovers 1 fatigue is just awesome, flavor wise (pun intended)!

One thing though: the saves on this character are a bit weird. The sheet says +5 Str, +4 Con.
The character however has +0 Str mod, +1 Con mod, and +2 proficiency. How do we get to +5 Str and +4 Con saves? Are saves totally reworked in A5E?
Other question: is the ranger not proficient with the harpoon/javelin? That seems weird for a hunter/fisher.

Was curious on ability scores myself. Looks like the game assumes a smaller point buy?

Sorry! I made a typo too! Fixed the saves. Those were from another pre-gen! Check the updated image.

Proficient, yes. Strength-based, though.

What does "handsfree shield" mean? It's not mentioned anywhere I can see on the sheet. I assume it's basically a buckler on top of his Hard to Hit feature?

Looks like. Probably has a property that keeps the hand free (possibly in a limited fashion?) but you only get +1 AC instead of +2 (and it probably breaks easier than a bigger shield). Just speculation on my part.

Yes, but the older version was giving an attack bonus of +3 with no bonus on damage, and I couldn't understand how it could be this way.
Now is fixed and consistent: it has proficiency (+2 on attack) but no other bonus since it is str based (as the damage shows)

If I had to assume I would say the buckler straps to its forearm, allowing use of the hand still.

Like in the old AD&D 2e
