Message: <blockquote data-quote="Villano" data-source="post: 400649" data-attributes="member: 505">Okay, one of my DMs is going to start a 6th level monster game and I decided on a wererat monk.  However, I also wanted to make up a back up PC, just in case.  I finally decided to go with a half-dragon/half-dwarf fighter.Now, here's where I ran into my problems.  How do you figure out the HP and skill point total?For a half-dragon, your hit die increases by 1 die type.  I guess that this would mean that I'd use a d12 instead of a d10 as I advance fighter levels.  Now, I was wondering what my total HP would be as a 6th level PC.  The ECL on a half-dragon is a +4, so I'd only be a 2nd level fighter.  Do I get only 3d12 (1 for race and 2 for my 2 levels in fighter)?  That seems awfully low for a 6th level game (basically, a 3rd level barbarian).  Or does it mean a d12 for each of my 4 levels of ECL (4d12)?Also, the hit die matter plays into determining your initial skill points.  The skill description for the template says, "A half-dragon has 6 skill points, plus int modifer, per Hit Die.  Treat skills from the base creature's list as class skill and other skills as cross-class  If the creature has a class, it gains skills for the class levels normally."I take this to mean that I just go by the fighter skills for 2 levels and all levels of advancement, but do I get skill points for being a half-dragon (dwarf skills are appraise, craft, listen, and spot) prior to being a fighter?  I assume that to be the case, but I need to know the hit die to find out that total.Thanks for any help. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
