Hey all, I used the character you helped with at my first event tonight. I'm hooked by the game! Thanks for all the advice.

Rknop,

I sent you a private message about CosCon at the Days Inn in Butler, PA (about 40min East of New Castle). You may want to check it out and see if it is something you'd like to do. It is hosted by the Circle of Swords gaming guild. I don't know much about them, but thought you might want to check them out.

Thanks again for all of the suggestions. You've made it much easier for me to get the character generation process to the point where I'm more excited than overwhelmed.

Flutter, I ended up really liking the stat layout you suggested.

Damanta, I'm not tied to being Vudrani, and I really like the Kellid option, so I'm going to pick up that supplement to be able to use Tribal Scars. The harness is also something I'll be getting. This looks like it puts me where I'm comfortable with my Handle Animal, while getting my Wisdom up to 14.

It looks like I can get the PDF copy of People of the North for fairly cheap. The PDF versions, on a tablet, should be acceptable for use if the GM needs to verify anything, correct? Other games that I'm familiar with allow this.

Damanta and Kigvan, I'm absolutely going to grab a club. The Shillelagh spell looks really nice.

Thank you for the responses.

The extra skill did come from the favored class. I had a tough time choosing so I thought it might be well used in the skill pool. Is the hit point more valuable as melee than the skill point? If I went for the hit point I would drop the Stealth.

DrParty06, thanks for the attack tip. I had no Idea you could slot the same trick twice. I'll review my spell options for level one again. I'm Not sure how to hit 14 Wis without dumping Cha. Would that be a bad idea?

Damanta, thanks for the suggested stat allocations. I'll spend some time reviewing how stats factor in to what I want to accomplish.

Do my weapon/shield choices look ok? I wanted to try and be prepared for multiple situations. I also considered carrying a bludgeoning weapon until I can wild shape, but figured slash might be more effective.

I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, but I need some help/advice on creating my first character.

I'm going to a local convention in March and would like to show up with a character ready to play. I wanted to play a Druid, but the community pregen character from the Paizo resources is mostly a spell casting Druid and I wanted to be more of a melee/wildshape Druid with an Animal Companion.

I tried to follow the character creation guide in the beginner box and core rulebook, along with the Hero's Handbook, but I'm not totally confident that I did everything right. Would you please check my stat allocations to make sure I calculated the buyout correctly?
