newbie: hit dice and class choosing. neeed help?

[grimoor]

Hey!

I'm new player and need of help for class choosing. Iv planned to do 1 rogue rest barbarian, or ranger barbarian
with feat that allow to shoot with strength would that work? Do i get hit dice of 1d6 example if i take rogue first and then barbarian or should i take barbarian first for 1d12? Iv planned to take human for extra feat.

Could i have help for class building? iv installed game 3 day ago and still havent created single charr cause this seems so hard nd dont wanna go wrong : D

Thank you : Grimoor

If you take one level of rogue and the rest barbarian you will have 6 hit points for the level of rogue, and 12 hit points for each level of barbarian. (plus a whole lot more for constitution and feats and such)

It doesn't matter whether you take the rogue level first or the barbarian level first, when you take the level you get that many hit points.

If you'd like to practice building characters, Ron's character builder might help you to find a build that you like.

A couple of basic build tips for what you seem to be thinking about:

1. If you're going to splash rogue, ranger, bard, or any other high-skill-point class, you should take it at 1st level. You get 4 times the normal skill points at 1st level, so it's best to maximize that with the highest skill point class that will be in your build.
2. If you want a rogue/barbarian, I would suggest having 2 levels of rogue in there so you get evasion. Evasion is a class-granted ability that prevents you from taking any damage on a successful Reflex saving throw (normally you would take half damage). You do not have to take the rogue levels one right after the other if you don't want to (you could take rogue at level 1, barbarian for levels 2-10, rogue for 11, barbarian for 12-20, for example).
3. Take a look at and maybe ask some questions in the character build forum and the barbarian forum. There are a lot of good builds and a lot of good build advice out there.

Have fun!

I to would suggest taking the first lvl in rog and were ever you want the next lvl. I would most likely take the next lvl sooner than lvl 11 simply, because I like to have evasion.

On the second part I would also say taking two lvls rather than one is a good idea because you are going to be using a bow and that requires dex for you to hit. although one lvl in ranger would give you bow str for free I believe, but you wouldn't get evasion. This depends on how many feats you are trying to take.
