Right and in doing this the 15 I placed in CON drops to a 14 leaving me with 1 15 so i left it as 15?

HP Lvl 1 4 + 10 /2 = 5
HP [1d4] = 3 [1d10] = 4 = 7/2 = 3.5
HP [1d4] = 3 [1d10] = 2 = 5/2 = 2.5
HP [1d4] = 1 [1d10] = 10 = 11/2 = 5.5
Total HP 16.5 + CON bonus +3 = 19.5

no if your race adjustment changes the 15 to a 14 it would stay because you dont have to put the 15 there. you get 6 scores you can place them wherever you want. if you put the 15 on dex it becomes 16

I really was going for more HP not lower AC. But sure... that 14 sucks then but ok maybe go back to half-elf as i was initially then. :idea:

Thank you. I selected Knock and Strength from the 2nd level spells and Magic Missile for the "Choose" on offensive roll.

I'd swear I linked the campaign id when I first rolled, but let me know if that's not showing up. I'm still getting used to this site.

offensive [1d10] = 3
defensive [1d10] = 4
misc. [1d10] = 6
I make that out as Enlarge, Hold Portal and Mending.

Missed one HD for Sasha, original roll was 3d4 for 4th level with max hp at first level. Adding one die for 5th level. Glad I caught that:

[1d4+2] = 2+2 = 4

Converting excess gp into gems as well, if that's kosher.
