I am creating a character and I understand a lot of the stuff but I am having trouble with a few things.
First off, how do I calculate defenses? I haven't found anything in the books so I'm not sure what to use to calculate my defenses. (other than AC)
second, what is CMB and CMD? I just flat out don't know what those are.
For now, those are the only problems I'm having. Thanks in advance for the assistance!
You're posting in the "Beginner Box" subforum, so I assumed at first that you're creating a character using the Beginner Box rules.
With that assumption, AC is your defenses. What other defensive stat do you need to calculate?
CMB and CMD aren't in the Beginner Box, so you don't have to worry about them.
Should I take the fact that you're mentioning them as a sign that you're using not the Beginner Box rules, but the Core Rulebook? In that case, Combat Maneuver Bonus and Combat Maneuver Defense are explained under "Combat Maneuvers" in the Combat chapter.
Ah, I apologize. I didn't realize this was the wrong place to post this…
But, yes I am using the core rulebook.
