[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 4098068, member: 39394"] 1) She's a barbarian/ranger with a spiked chain. So mostly it's running up and attacking things. She doesn't use trips or disarms or anything fancy like that. She doesn't even have to figure out power attacks, since she refuses to take Power Attack. 'What is my to-hit bonus' and 'what is my damage bonus' are the only questions she should have to get right. 2) Who am I to have someone audit her character sheet? If she wanted someone to audit her sheet, presumably she'd just ask. I just... I get so frustrated sometimes and obviously she picks up on it. Today she asks (in all seriousness), "Doesn't raging give me a bonus to my dexterity?" No, no it doesn't. She's only been playing a barbarian every other week for five months or so. God forbid that in five months she should know backwards and forwards what a barbarian's rage does. By the way, I didn't even answer the "does it give me a dexterity bonus" question. I wandered off to the snack table and let the rest of the table answer it. I've got no desire to be her personal rules police. [/QUOTE]
