with 6 hp....
or fili and kili likely being rangers.... his stealth would beat the stealth of a mid level ranger?
Evidently not. Bilbo was able to kneel down (hide) and escape the goblin horde capture in the movie.
which is easy if they are just goblins, with possibly negatives to perception checks from low wis score, and bilbo has all the regular bonuses from size, race etc. then it makes sense. doesnt when you add levels to everyone.
that being said, a small creature hiding from a small creature would still get bonuses to stealth?

Probably shouldn't, which means that the higher level dwarves didn't train stealth, because the dwarves were all found
He does not need to be 1st level. May be 2nd or 3rd... How old is he at the beginning?
Oh dear not the Age=Levels thing...
That said: This is meant to be designed to start with them at Level 1 all the way up to Level 20. They aren't going to be Optimized but meant to fight a Great Wyrm Red Dragon with a group of Ogres as back up.
Why would bilbo be higher level? He's never done anything, gone anywhere. Tolkien takes great pains to describe coaxing a fat, lazy homebody out onto an adventure appealing to a wander lust gandalf knows is in there somewhere.....

Maybe age? From Gandalf's description, Bilbo ran around a lot when he was younger developing stealth skills and whatever. Then, maybe a level or two of expert or aristocrat for his comfortable life? It's a possible translation.
OR maybe 1st level, if he starts with more than 1 hit dice of hit points, which some games do.
Again, specifically called out is his lack of experience, running around in the forest chasing imaginary elves doesn't give you higher levels or all my PCs would start as 8th level fighters with a good imagination.
Still needing a final feat for Thorin.

Bashing Finish?
How did I miss that Feat... Thank You Jubal...
Now which one next?
which what next? which dwarf?
in the movies.... order of 'interesting' or coolness is:
Thorin
Dwalin
Fili
Kili
Balin
The others.
I'd make Dwalin a barbarian, but paper work and tracking an NPC of that level, erf. However a fighter with that many feats would be about the same, without the rounds per day tick marks.
I already have the Classes laid out...
The Info will be in the original link.
They are mostly Rangers focusing on all the available fighting styles the characters can/would/have/had used.
wait til they totally change it up in later movies....you will be like...what ...the.....ffffforget it!

Now which one next?
Maybe Dwalin next? Do you want to make Fili and Kili the same?
in the movie they dont seem the same. Like dwalin and balin (closer than those two, but still different) I think fili has sneak attack...
Fili is using TWF.
Kili is using Archery.
I am looking at the books and using the GW minis and LotR Wiki for most of it. Fili, from what I have seen, seems more to just using flanking a lot.
I am working on Dwalin now.
Side-Topic: Have you guys heard that LotRO is planning a "Journey to tthe Lonely Mountain" Adventure Set for Kinships in the game?
Hey Az
Are you still working this?
Slowly... Mainly I am just getting things organized before I put them up into the Google Document.
These aren't optimized in any sense of the word... But they are good enough for NPCs.
