Beginner question

[Michael Schaap 301]

Hey all!!! I played a few games in 2009 but have not played since. Getting back into it now.

Had a question about int modifier. I'm creating a fighter and trying to figure out how many skills I have per level. Core rulebook says 2 + int modifier. I can not figure out what my int modifier is.... Is there a chart? Where is it? My int is 14 (was 12 but I'm an elf so get 2 bonus for int).

Thanks much!!!!

Another question I have is within the skills, craft section. If I want to have a skill of crafting longbows and arrors is that 2 separate skills? In the book its on one line so was unsure.

Thanks!!

I think I found the int modifier. Is it under the general Ability modifier???

Hi, Micheal, and welcome in this forum!

1) Modifiers for ability scores (and by extension, intelligence) are calculated with the following, simple, formula:

(AbilityScore/2) - 5

So, following this formula, your skill point per level are 2 + 2, for a total of 4.
The actual table can be also found in the first chapter of the core rule book.
NINJAED-> Yes you are right.

2) To craft bows and arrow, you only need Craft (Bow).

Fell free to ask any question, we'll happily answer!

Myself, I find the formula easier to work out in my head if I think of it as (Ability Score - 10) / 2
