[QUOTE="drothgery, post: 2617437, member: 360"] 1/2 max + 1 + Con bonus for all levels after 1st. So d4 = 3 d6 = 4 d8 = 5 d10 = 6 d12 = 7 And just a little advice for anyone building their character... 1) Don't worry too much about what you'll be doing more than two or three levels from now; the next PBP game I see that lasts long enough for PCs to gain 5 levels will be the first -- and I've played in or run games that have lasted years. I wanted to run a mid-level game, so that's where the PCs are starting at. 2) If there's something that you think is cool for your character concept, but a bit sub-optimal mechanically, take it. A marginal edge in combat in a PBP game isn't that big of a deal, especially when you've got fully-equiped 32-point buy characters with action points. [/QUOTE]
