Advice


After reading the user created guides I still have some questions that the core rulebook doesn't answer about character creation.

I am trying to make a cleric that will prestige into a Diabolist.

1. The cleric is a half-elf with a INT of 16 +3. She originally got a 14 on the (Roll 4 choose 3) roll and I applied the +2 racial bonus to the base score. The beginning languages are Common and eleven. Can I add abbysal or infernal to make that three known languages. Which would use the +3 mod with no more available languages to learn. Or would adding abbysal or infernal only count as 1 languages leaving 2 more to learn?
2. Where do I put the +2 racial save on the character sheet?
3. At level one I get Skill Rank 2 + int mod. Does that mean I get 5 skills (2+3)?
4. I'm not sure how the domain system works do chose Evil and in parentheses put devil or do I just write the Devil Domain?
4.1 do I choose a Evil Diety or a Devil diety. There were some devils in the book of the damned series that I was considering can I choose them as long as they are in the evil or devil domain?

Here is my character sheet.

Usually a cleric uses wisdom from my experiences so i wouldnt put it int unless you really want. You can always just stick with the 16 its not terrible. Ass for languages unless your DM is into the heavy role play you wont really need it I would go with more common languages than abbysal like dwarven etc.. and both of them are different. The +2 racial trait goes to one of the 6 stats Str,Dex, Etc. For your 3rd question the answer is yes add 5 to a skill (swim Exp). When choosing the domain you MUST choose a god half the time so choose one towards what the prerequisite would be like god Serenrai for healing domain. Also remember just because you worship a god doesn't mean the will always HELP (hint hint nudge nudge). The domain really depends on how you wanna play or even if you wanna multiclass some time just take your time and look into it.

Question two was for the +2 racial saving throw against enchantment spells and effects. I already added the +2 to one ability score its how I got 16 for Int. Where does the racial saving throw bonus go on the skill sheet.


1. Common and Elven are free; you can pick another 3 languages.
2. Make a note in the Modifiers box, alongside the saving throw information. (Make sure to apply the bonus when relevant.)
3. Yes. And at each level beyond the first. (Also add your favoured class bonus if you don't use it for increasing your hitpoints.)
4. Record it any way you want, it's not going to change anything.
5. Evil is the domain; devil is the subdomain. If you choose to worship a devil, you probably need to speak to your DM as *I think* it'd be a houserule. If you go with a god, s/he must have the evil domain *and* the devil subdomain; of the major deities, this would be Asmodeus or Zon-Kuthon.

6. Echoing what zwolfy says, you'd be better off putting your highest roll in Wisdom, as your spellcasting is based off this stat. Currently, you're limited to casting 2nd level spells.
