Hi all,
Here's something I made up after looking thru the PHB and noticing how much page flipping was going on during the character creation process, WotC definetely didn't streamline that part of the game. For some reason, Wizards didn't include any sort of table that lays out all the races & classes side by side for comparison. Here are just those sorts of tables, along with a listing of each of their powers/abilities. Hopefully this will cut down on having to flip back and forth throughout the book during character generation.
(EDIT: OK, updated it to reflect the trained skills for the class. Although I'm a little confused with how the PHB gives the skills. In places it will show something like:
"Trained Skills: Arcana. From the class skills list below, choose three more trained skills at 1st level. Class Skills: Arcana (int), Diplomacy (cha), etc..."
Why does it show Arcana in that list again? Does that mean that your character gets 3 total skills, automatically gets Arcana, and then chooses 2 more skills; or does he get 3 trained skills in addition to Arcana? Why show Arcana again in that list of class skills? Can you choose it again? WTF? I'm sure there's a thread about this somewhere.
