Okay, so, I wasn't totally clear on the forum rules for posting my character. I know it said do it in the main forum section, but I didn't know if it was okay to just post my character without actually making it for a campaign. That said, hi. I'm new to playing D&D, but I've read the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Masters Guide, as I plan to DM at some point. I think I've got a good handle on the game, but I might need a bit of direction. Anyways, I'm going to make a character, and any help is appreciated. I've narrowed down what I'm going to be to either a Sorcerer or Dread Necromancer. I'll probably be human either way. So, if I've got this right, I use the dice feature and roll all of my dice. Okay . . . I'm just going to roll 4 dice, then drop the lowest manually . . .

3,6,1 = [10]
So, in the end, I got: [14, 13, 15, 12, 7, 10]
Not too bad, but not great . . .
Okay, so I think I'm going to go with Dread Necromancer, and I'm a Human Male, so let's see . . .
Now I pick my skills . . . Since I'm a Dread Necromancer, I get 2, plus zero, times four, so 8, then I get four more for being Human. So, 12 in total.
Bluff: 3 Ranks + 2 Cha Mod = 5 Skill Mod
Concentration: 3 Ranks + 2 Con Mod = 5 Skill Mod
Intimidate: 3 Ranks + 2 Cha Mod = 5 Skill Mod
Spellcraft: 3 Ranks + 0 Int Mod = 3 Skill Mod
Okay, now I'll fill out the basic attack stuff . . .
Hit Die: d6
Hit Points: 8 (6+2 Con Mod)
Armor Class: 14 (10+3+1)
Initiative: +1
BAB: 0 (Melee: +1, Ranged: +1)
Saving Throws: Fort: +2, Ref: +1, Will: +0
Now for feats. I'll be going with Eschew Materials and Spell Penetration. (From the Player's Handbook) And finally, my equipment, which is just a suit of Studded Leather and a Longsword as my Martial Weapon Proficiency. I didn't know what to do for my Gold, so if someone could help me there, that'd be nice, but I think I've got everything else. (Except a name!)

Thank you. I didn't notice my role issues. I'll fix that . . . Well, I got high-ish roll, but I also got a very bad one . . . What to put it in, what to put it in . . . Oops, I'll get the Spell Penetration too. I wasn't sure whether to use two hands or one, since I have to cast spells, and I assumed most of them had gestures involved. So, I'll fix all of the mistakes and hopefully someone will have a game somewhere that I can join. Once more, thanks.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Would there be any benefit to using a Flail? This is mostly from a roleplaying flavor perspective, I just wasn't sure whether a sword would look cooler than a Non-Heavy Flail. Then again, if I could use a Heavy Flail, I wouldn't, since I'd be using a Bastard Sword.

Any suggestions for what I've done wrong? Thanks!
