You just put ranks into the skill. Having a skill as a class skill only means you get a +3 bonus on checks with that skill if you have at least 1 rank in it. You can still put ranks into non-class skills. Anyone can put a rank into any skill.

Oh ok cool, I didn't think you could do that. Now that makes life easier

woot woot thanks again

Use Magic Device.

If the wand is of a spell that is on your class spell list, you don't need any skill to use it.

That is, assuming you know the command word.

Thats cool so how do I learn this if its not part of my trained skills.

I'm a wizard wanting to buy a cure lt wounds but I'm guessing I can't use it.

Ok prolly a dumb question but what skill do you need to use a wand?

I assume if you have the spell you can use a wand with that spell but if not what do you need.

Thanks for your time

Have a good one.. Dug

Well I'm defiantly noob to PFS but I used to play DND many many many years ago "first edition" so I kinda get it, (well as much as a long hair hippie type can get it LOL)

I also have a great PFS network where I play, this is actually my forth PC since I started at the beginning of the year. But I don't get to play as much as I would like, so my other PC's are all lvl 2 and under.

Sooooo I guess what I'm getting at is I'm creating this PC for a game on the 29th and just gathering as much info between here and my local folks so when game day comes I can be the most effective.

Anyway thanks again for the help this boards are so awesome, everyone is so helpfull

Have a great weekend

Good to know since I am the complete noob LOL I think I'm going to do this first one up as a uni

thanks again

So it seems as a specialist you get a bit better wizard since you get the extra spells

Not sure I understand the universal wizard vs the specialized...

If I'm universal I can choose from any school without having an opposed school, is this the only benefit?? I ask this because It looks like if I specialize in a school I get bonus stuff for that school and negative stuff for the opposition school. Err I think anyway can someone explain for me or do I have it right..

Thanks

Kewl more great info thanks again. I'm definitely reallocated some points around..

Rocking on both accounts, thanks guys..

If you don't have Mage Armor up all the time, consider buying a Haramaki. 3 gold and 1 lb for 1 AC and no drawbacks. Just remember the armor bonus it grants will not stack with Mage Armor (or any other armor bonus you might have, like Bracers of Armor). Still, it's a nice fallback until you can get Mage Armor up for most of the day.

I personally like the ceremonial silk robes better. I have found that it fits with the GMs I game with better since it's both more expensive and more "wizardly" than a piece of metal wrapped around the belly.

However this is mostly a 'flavor' thing -- just something that might help get a bit more AC without throwing the GM for too much of a loop.

Both are an excellent choice later on too when you want a bit more AC than mage armor provides or you want to have heavy fortification or the determination property for those "oh no" moments.

Kewl I'll check em out. I assume I would need to take the feat that lets me wear amor?

Dropping Dex isn't great, but it's not lethal. However, NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMISTANCES, should you dump Con. Everyone needs at least 12, preferably 14. Trust me on this one. ; )

Just remember, you probably want at least a 14 or 16 in Dex if you want to use ray attacks.

Why do you need higher AC for ray attacks??

33 Kiddy Addaburd
34. Bud Wiser
35. Archer Pinpricker

Whoa cool

So if there is 5 images in MI you have a 1 in 5 to hit but if you close your eyes you have a 50% to hit? Why is that, its awesome by any means just curious as to why.

If your Intelligence is 18, you will have 3 0-level spells (cantrips), and 2 1st-level spells (3 is you specialize in a school, but your 3rd 1st-level spell must be of that school).

Ahh Ok I was reading it wrong thanks...

As a 1st level wizard you should have 1 1st-level spell per day. Plus an additional 1 1st-level spell if you are a specialized in a school, and another if you have a high enough Intelligence (12 to 19) or another 2 if your Intelligence is 20 or more. You should have 2 to 4 1st level spells per day, along with 3 cantrips. Your cantrips are spells that are never expended when you cast them and you can exchange them for any other cantrip anytime you prepare spells.

So what does it mean in the core when it says your 1 spell a day along with your int modifier. my int is 18 which is a modifier of +4 so shouldn't that mean I have 5 per day? Soooo many rules to look thru LOL

also does it also mean thats how many spells I can memorize per day or how many I can use? thanks again

Also could someone tell me about spells

I can use as many 0-levels per day and can choose from any of the 3 I memorize each day

With my int bonus I get 5 spells per day from 5???? that i memorize each day?? not sure I got that right or not.

thanks again..

hee hee so true Nephril I like that scenario

My dex is 11 but like I said I think I'll up it to 12 and get that little bonus take it from my cha...

Kewl good things to know, I do have mage amor and shield, I'm going to check out vanish, hmm might up my dex by one point also, thanks all for the quick response you all rock...

So again a noob question I'm sure.

I made a wizard with high int and cha but pretty low strength and dex basically no bonus for either 10 and 11. I really wanted all the int bonus for spells and cha for skills.

Sooooooooooooo in doing that my AC is 10, does that seem right? I'm fine with it if it is I wanted to make a true squishy with as much spells as possible, but if I made a mistake and get better AC then of course I'll take it LOL

Anyway thanks for the help

Dug

Hmm this looks fun

I'm going to say 10 would be average since thats what the core starts at right???

Strength I don't look it but I do a lot of work on the mini ranch we have so I think I would be a little above average for my age.

Dex, again my age puts me back a bit but I use to be very fast years ago when I was active in my martial arts.

Con, again Im 43, but I havent' had any major health issues and I don't tend to get sick much

Int, I'm a cadd drafter hmm some days lots of smarts others none at all

Wis, again 43 so my life experience gives me a bit

Cha, well I really dig being around folks my friends and fam are most important to me, and I can make friends with just about anyone.

S 12
D 11
C 12
I 12
W 13
Ch 16

So in my younger years Monk for sure, right now prolly just a commoner with interest in sales, politics, maybe even management LOL

Hee hee thanks for this thread it was fun reading and participating

Dug

Also are style feats for monks different then regular feats? Are these taken in addition to regular feats or instead of regular feats.

The one I was looking at is snake and it doesn't do anything until I have 3 ranks in sense motive which I'm guessing means 3rd level since you can only put 1 rank equal to your level in any skill (is that right or did I misunderstand)

Anyway thanks again for everyone's responses..

Back to the original topic, there's a table on the first page of the "Classes" chapter of the Core Rulebook that shows character advancement, and shows that characters get one feat every odd numbered level.

As mentioned above, humans get a bonus feat at first level, and several classes get other bonus feats along the way.

Great thanks again for the info, When I get home I'll have to look in the core again because I found the feat rules for creating a PC but not what happens after lvl 1.

Hmmm my wife says I have man eyes and can't see whats right in front of me, thats prolly what the problem is LOL

Thanks again

So... where does the term "toon" come from? I'm a bit of an etymology nerd, so I'm curious.

yup yup MMO's

We usually use "PC" for shorthand (for player character). Since we have no rendered character on a screen to look at. :)

AHH cool thanks I'll remember that, thats even easier to type LOL

What a awesome idea and you got some cool ideas from everyone also, I might have to see about doing the same thing here sooooooo kewl.

Maybe a beard tieing contest, then tied to each other for a tug a war beer drinking contest combined. Of course it would have to be make female opponents.

I don't know what a "toon" is, but your character gets a feat at each odd-numbered level, inlcuding 1st.

Humans get a bonus feat at 1st level.

Fighters gain a bonus feat at 1st level and at every even-numbered level, though these feats must be Combat Feats.

Ha ha sorry I use "toon" instead of character I'm lazy and toon is easier to type, Old gaming days I guess..

Thanks for the info it helps a lot..

Hey all

I'm a noob and was wondering about feats.

I see you get at least one feat at creation of a toon and depending on your class race etc. you get bonus feats at different levels and such.

My question is if your toon starts out with say the basic 1 feat, do you get a new feat every level after that along with the bonus feats at the different levels or do you just get the one feat to start and thats it except for the bonus ones..

Just a noob trying to get it right

Have a great day Doug

Ahh that makes me feel better LOL thanks

Ok so I'm a bonehead! I can't seem to find anywhere that shows the schedule of events for this. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can see whats going down..
