I have a now 2nd level Half-Orc Barbarian. I have selected a rage power, added to my BAB, added to my Fortitude save, and recorded uncanny dodge as a new feat. I have also allocated my skill points that I gained this level and added +1 to my health for adding a level in my favored class. I don't know if I am missing anything, someone at my table yesterday was talking about adding half my hit die to my health but I'm not sure if that's true. Basically I just want to know if I am missing anything and make sure I'm not breaking any rules.
Also please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong sub forum. I have never posted here before.

You should also roll for hit points. As a barbarian, you have a d12 hit die. Every time you gain a level, you roll 1d12 and add your Constitution modifier to the roll. You then add this total to your total hit points.
Some GMs have different rules on hit points, with a common one being "don't roll for hit points, just add half your hit die + CON", so make sure your GM isn't using a houserule like that.
The only other thing is that Uncanny Dodge isn't a feat, but rather an ability, but that's mostly just a naming thing. Otherwise it looks like you've got everything covered. Happy adventuring!

When you level up, you also gain hp. Depending on the rules your group uses, you would also normally roll 1d12 (as you are a barbarian who gained a level in the barbarian class, which uses d12's), add your Constitution bonus (if any), and add that to your previously existing hp total. So if you rolled a 6, you would then add your Constitution bonus to that (let's say, oh, 2, from a 14 Constitution), get 8. Add that 8 to your hp total.
Also, just for the record, uncanny dodge is not a feat; it's a class ability. Feats are listed in the 'Feats' section of the Core Rulebook. It's sometimes hard to keep track of, I admit.

Actually, you don't roll for HP in Society play, do you? I thought you took half plus one.
EDIT: Yeah, it's under Hit Points in the Guide to Organized Play. There's a table. Barbarians get a flat 7 hp at each new level, plus your Con bonus, favored class bonus, whatever else you might have (Toughness, etc.)

I do not play PFS, so I'm not the best person to answer, but I understand that characters gain hit points equal to the Hit Die average rounded up. Which for a Barbarian would be 7 (HD is d12, average of 6.5, rounds up to 7). Add to this your Con bonus, plus any bonus from favoured class (which the OP noted he'd already done).

Thank you both you're extremely helpful.
What would the rules for Pathfinder Society Organized Play be on HP on level up? I couldn't find them in the Guide to Organized Play.
Hi there!
As a general rule, you can(and should)ask PFS specific questions in the actual PFS forums (scroll down toward the bottom of the forums)
