I'd be very thankful if you guys could suggest a few to me. Once I save up the money, I'll go pick up PH2 so I can get them.

Here you can read my background

Lianna Beleren

Early-life: Well-loved: Associated skills; insight, diplomacy

Geography-Urban: Associated skills; streetwise, history

Occupation-Merchant (since your family owned a business, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you picked up skills from them): Associated skills; bluff, diplomacy

Recent life- Peaceful life: associated skills; athletics, insight

or the explorer one Dion mentioned. That one is, learn an extra language of your choice, add nature to your class skill list, and you get +2 bonus to nature checks

so, would I add these associated skills to my trained skills list? or do i just get the +2 bonus

Also, I notice some of you have not given yourselves background bonuses yet. Keep in mind that you are able to select two of your choice (that fit your character of course), so don't forget to do that....unless you don't want to for some reason. eek

Ziekara

Backgrounds: Character backgrounds preferred. I will try and work your history into the story if I can. Also, as an incentive, you will be given up to two background bonuses (as prescribed by WoTC) based on the story you give me, OR with my permission you may pick up to 2 of your own, so long as your story explains why you have them.

I thought YOU were deciding which bonuses we get eek

So we decide, then?

Each option gives you a list of skills. You can either add them to your class skill list before choosing your trained skills, OR get a +2 bonus to one of them.

You can get a total of two such bonuses, no matter how many backgrounds you take.

For instance, Murder Nun has Urban (History, Streetwise), Blessed Birth (Insight, Religion), and Ward of the Temple (Heal, Religion).

I just added a +2 to her Religion and +2 to her Insight. Those are my two bonuses that the DM allotted.

It means you can TAKE those ones as trained skills or take the +2 bonus in one of them. I recommended looking through the PDF I posted, that has allot that will give you trained skills or abilities of some kind.

so okay, lets see if i get this

I can add those as trained skills, or get +2s in 1...
do those stack with my class's trained skills?
or do they replace them?

Rangers have a skill list of the following skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Dungeoneering, Endurance, Heal, Nature, Perception, and Stealth.

With those backgrounds, you can choose two more to add to that list, BEFORE you choose your trained skills for 1st level.

Ultimately, look at it as either training in a skill you really want (+5 bonus), or further focus in a skill you already have trained (+2 bonus on top of the training you already received).

Even though the DM prefers point-buy? neutral

EDIT: Also, what? 6d6, drop the lowest 3? What standards have YOU been smoking?

Page 18, Rolling Scores: 4d6, drop the lowest, 6 times.

gonk The third time that has happened... I leave and forget to save or the character sheet glitches and erases half of the page... I promise I will have my character up by tonight, though I might be away this weekend. I don't know yet, but there is talk that people are going to need my help.
