Hi,

Having now read through most of the two manuals in the Beginner Box, I'm about to embark on a test session playthrough with my son. I've rolled him up a human Barbarian character, but just want to check I've understood something right...

For a melee attack, his total 'To-Hit' roll would be:

1d20 + Race Attack Bonus(+1) + STR Modifier(+3) + Weapon Attack Bonus(Longsword, +4)

So... 1d20 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 1d20 + 8

Is that correct?

I know it sounds like a simple question, but in the list of available weapons shown in the Hero's Handbook it doesn't mention the +4 bonus on the Longsword (I got that from Hero Lab).

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am interested in buying the Beginner Box for Pathfinder, however I don't want to repeat the same experience I had with the D&D Red Box that put me off last year.

Basically what happened was that I went through the character sheet creation tutorial in the Red Box, only to get totally confused because I discovered sometime afterward that there were several errors in the process and stat calculation and I didn't really end up understanding how to properly generate valid characters.

So... I've now found out from a friend that similar errata were to be found in the Pathfinder Hero and GM handbooks, so what I really want to know is:

If I buy the Beginner Box, are the errata still present in the Hero and GM handbooks? If so, are current PDF's available to download after purchase that correct the errata IN ONE PLACE so that I learn how to generate character sheets correctly (I don't want to have to trawl through various forum posts having to piece together the corrections from official corrections and just users' opinions).

You advice and comments are appreciated,
