here it is!

Awesome. Let's get this show on the road!

Sorry for the late reply! I've been busy with national exams. Just wondering, how is AC calculated? I already calculated mine, it's easy wuth no armour, but I'm really confused how you calculate it with armour eg heavy armour

Base with no armour is 10+dex unless you are a monk when it's 10+dex+wisdom/barbarian where it's 10+dex+con

Armour calculations are below:

Padded -- 11 + Dex modifier light, stealth disadvantage
Leather -- 11 + Dex modifier light
Studded leather -- 12 + Dex modifier light
Hide -- 12 + Dex modifier (max 2) medium
Chain shirt -- 13 + Dex modifier (max 2) medium
Scale mail -- 14 + Dex modifier (max 2) medium, stealth disadvantage
Breastplate -- 14 + Dex modifier (max 2) medium
Half plate -- 15 + Dex modifier (max 2) medium, stealth disadvantage
Ring mail -- 14 heavy, stealth disadvantage
Chain mail -- 16 heavy, stealth disadvantage, Str 13
Splint -- 17 heavy, stealth disadvantage, Str 15
Plate -- 18 heavy, stealth disadvantage, Str 15
Shield -- +2 modifies Base AC

That is pretty easy in most cases. You choose an armor that you are proficient with. Generally you are given one when you start a class or can buy them in the future. The armor will give a formula for how to calculate AC. It will be in the format (armor value)+(Dex modifier with a cap). It tends to be that light armor has no cap, medium has a cap of +2, and heavy armor does not let you add a Dex modifier. If you have 2 effects that give you an AC formula, then choose the better.

I was beaten to the punch, but I figure I'll leave it in case a second phrasing helps.

So, I had apparently missed the proficiency points. To get this straight, starting at level 3, we have 18 of those points to spend?

Is this something I need to know about? I've never heard of 'proficiency points' used in 5e.

It is in the background document for the character creation.

I'm looking over it now and i'm very confused. Is this in addition to regular proficiency rules? Do the points count as part of proficiency when factoring expertise?

Oh jeez! I totally forgot to delete that LOL, that was part of a rule I tried in a different campaign and then didn't work out. Sorry about that guys.

No worries.
