Beginner box character help.


Beginner Box

Liberty's Edge

Ok, so I got my Beginners Box and I created a Dwarven Rogue. Im still a little confused but I like it alot more than that crappy confusing red box I got a while back.
Im level 1
On section G.. I dont have anything in imp initiative, Attack bonus or Attack Bonus besides Melee and Ranged. What is that for?

In sect H my AC is +4 because of my chain mail, no shield,3 dex mod, and 0 magic + 10 = 17 right?

Also as a Dw Rogue, I get 8 ranks in Section D skills right?

Also, what is a link to some of the beginner box mistakes?

If you take the Improved Initiative Feat you would put a +4 in the box of the same name in section G.

Your Attack Bonus for both Melee and Ranged Weapons are +0 for a 1st level Rogue. Page 24 of the Hero's Handbook tells you to write +0 to Base Attack bonus in section F, but I'm not sure where it tells you to copy that into Section G.

As a Rogue, your PC would be proficient with Light Armor, so I think you meant to say "Chain Shirt" instead of "Chain Mail", which is a Medium armor. As you listed a +4 bonus, that is further proof. So, if that's true, your math is correct.

As a Rogue your PC would have 8 ranks plus a modifier based on your INT. So if your PC had a 14 Intelligence (which is +2 INT), the total skill ranks would be 8 + 2 = 10. By the same token, a negative INT modifier would subtract skill ranks.

I don't know if there is official errata published yet, but Paizo has release additional material for the Beginner Box if you don't have it yet...

Beginner Box GM Kit

There is also this thread discussing Beginner Box corrections.

Good luck.

Thanks very much. I have a -1 mod on my int. So that means I have 7 skills instead of 8 right?

I didnt see that in the books. Must have skipped over it.

Also, when do I level these characters up? Is there a chart? I cant find it.

Take a look at page 63, the level up chart is there.

Cheers!
