[QUOTE="Idsquare, post: 412576, member: 7820"] I'm like Doug B. -- I don't really have a clue what I'm doing and don't know why my stats are what they are. I just went into the Character Generator program, rolled the dice and printed out the Character Sheet. I don't know why or how I got 21 on STR. I don't know how I got the skills or feats I've got. And I don't know what half of the stats mean. I'm learning as I go. Chris has told me he will probably change my STR stat, which is fine with me. I'm guessing this will all start to make some sense after we begin play and I understand the implications of each stat/skill/feat/etc. The only thing I've done consciously (aside from rolling the dice) was to select certain skills and my 2 feats. I could use some guidance/suggestions about several things. I think the most immediate concern I have is re: equipment/weapons/armor/etc. If anyone thinks I need to change skills or adjust ranks, let me know. Not having ever played D&D, I'm not sure where all of this is going. And the Player's Handbook isn't very clear to a newbie like me. Jump right in there, guys, and give me some suggestions. I welcome them. [/QUOTE]
