Pathfinder Character Basics

A Pathfinder character is defined by several core components:

Race: Determines base ability scores and racial traits
Class: Defines your character's role and abilities
Level: Represents your character's progression and power
Ability Scores: Fundamental attributes that affect gameplay
Skills: Specialized abilities that enhance your character's capabilities
Equipment: Items that provide bonuses and functionality

These components work together to create a unique character tailored to your playstyle.

Stat Calculation Methods

Ability scores are calculated using different methods depending on your character's level:

For levels 1-20:

Modifier = (Score - 10) / 2 (rounded down)

Example: A Strength score of 16 gives a +3 modifier

Higher levels may introduce additional modifiers or special rules that affect your ability scores.

Score	Modifier	Example
10	+0	Average human
12	+1	Above average
14	+2	Enhanced
16	+3	Exceptional
18	+4	Heroic

Skill Point Allocation

Skill points are allocated based on your class and level. The calculator helps you track your remaining points and ensures you don't exceed your maximum allocation.

Skill Points Formula:

Total Skill Points = (Intelligence Modifier × 4) + Level

Example: A level 5 character with an Intelligence modifier of +2 has 14 total skill points

Some classes have additional rules for skill point allocation that the calculator accounts for automatically.

Equipment Tracking

The calculator helps you track your character's equipment and calculate total weight. This is particularly useful for characters with strict weight limits or those who need to manage their load effectively.

Weight Calculation:

Total Weight = Sum of all equipment weights

Example: A character carrying a sword (3 lbs), shield (6 lbs), and backpack (2 lbs) has a total weight of 11 lbs

You can add, remove, and modify equipment items as needed, with the calculator updating your total weight automatically.
