I cannot figure out whether you get proficiency in the Skills/Saving Throws of the new class (i.e. I have a 1st-level Barbarian and went into Druid from 2nd level onwards--do I receive the Druid's proficiency in Intelligence/Wisdom saves and the option to choose 2 Druid skills in addition to the Saves and Skills I have as a Barbarian?

When multi-classing, do you gain any other proficiencies outside of weapon and armor. In particular do you gain saving throw proficiencies?

In character-building/leveling-up, you take your class's skill points and add your Int bonus.  So a Fighter gets 2 Plus their Int bonus.  Say my fighter is really smart(16) he'll get 2+3 (int bonus) or 5 points per level.  But what if my fighter is dumber than a sack hammers?  Let's say int 4.  He levels up and gets 2+int mod.  Int 4 carries a -3.  So it's 2+(-3) which equals -1.  How does a dumb fighter level up any of their skills if they have negative skill points?  Or is the int bonus only added if it's positive?

I'm a pretty new player, and I'm building a bard in D&amp;D 5e. I understand how saving throws work in general, but I am a little confused about one thing. Say I cast Blindness/Deafness on a humanoid. They must then make a Constitution saving throw. My question is: what value do they have to roll in order to make the save? Does their roll (plus their constitution modifier) have to beat my constitution (plus my modifier)? This is more of a general player question than one specific to the Bard or that spell.

For Christmas my kiddo got the D&amp;D Starter Set and we've been going though it and the full rules we downloaded online. I'm having a hard time figuring out how the example listed in the rules gets to a final value of 14.  The example is a level 1 character with wisdom of 15 and a proficiency in perception.  I understand that you start with  10 (base) + 2 (character level) + 2 (wisdom 15) which gets you to 14 but then how does the "proficiency in perception" help or factor in?   What gets more confusing is on one of the pre-generated character sheets has a level 1 character with wisdom of 10 but a passive perception value of 10. If I follow the math from above shouldn't it be 10 (base) + 2 (char lev 1) + 0 (wisdom 10 = 0 bonus) for a final score of 12?  How to calculate passive perception?

We had a rule check tonight that we couldn't answer. On the Pathfinder wiki I could only find info on natural 20s and 1s in regards to attack rolls and saves in combat.  Do they also apply to skill checks?

I'm building a druid character for an upcoming E6 game, and I'm wondering if I can get myself rage along with 6 levels of shapeshift variant druid.  Unfortunately, shapeshift is obligatory, which means no druidic avenger. Are there any feats/races/templates/whatever which could grant rage? In case it is important, flaws are allowed, splatbooks are generally allowed and we are starting on 2nd level.  For those not knowing what E6 is, here is a . TLDR version: as dnd up to 6th level, one feat every 5kxp thereafter, level adjusted races get lesser point buy but no level adjustment.

In D&amp;D 3.5, does taking levels in a prestige class cause the XP penalty like multiclassing does? Please provide the source of the answer so I can show it to my players.

So, if a character multiclasses to a point where they have multiple attacks in a round, I assume you can decide once the hit has been confirmed by the DM, but before you roll damage, whether you make the hit a sneak attack?  I ask because you may know an enemy is weak, and don't want to waste the damage to finish it. I also want to confirm that you cannot declare sneak attack damage after you have already rolled your base damage, to finish off a still standing opponent for example. The "Is it dead? No? Oh! Then sneak attack!" seems dumb and nonsensical to me. I expect it to be like smite, decided on hit, but before damage is rolled.

I'm starting a new AL game (as a player) and I have a question that's not addressed in the AL material.  According to Adventurers League Player's Guide (page 4)     When you create your D&amp;D Adventurers League character for the current season, take starting equipment as determined by your class and background. You cannot roll for your starting wealth.   Meaning I can't start with whatever I want. However, I am playing a ranged-focused fighter, so the second gear option is of no use to me:   (a) a martial weapon and a shield or (b) two  martial weapons   Can I choose any two martial weapons and sell them for half price to use for purchasing other gear before play? And is there a restriction on how much gold I can get?  For example, two hand crossbows (martial ranged weapons) can net me 75 gp when sold, or two greatswords nets me 50 gp when sold.

The level requirements for Warlock invocations stated in the PHB are refering to which level, character or Warlock class?  Example: If I multiclassed into Warlock, Monk6/Warlock2, would I be able to pick up One With Shadows as an invocation which carries a 5th level requirement?

As a bit of background, my players befriended a kobold and gave him a javelin (instead of the dagger a kobold usually have, according to his stat block). They later also gave him a leather armor for his protection.  Does the kobold have proficiency for the javelin and the leather armor ?   Or the general question: Do monsters have proficiency with all weapons and armors ?  If not, how can I know what they have proficiency with ?

I'm wondering if any feats might carry over when a druid assumes a Wild Shape. I'm specifically looking at the Alert and Lucky Feats.  PHB p.67 stipulates:     Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast...   So I would tend to think that that precludes the +5 to Initiative in the Alert Feat, but I thought it would be a good idea to check with you guys.

World of Warcraft has an ability to have two different talent builds and switch between them with a button press.  Does this exist in Star Wars: The Old Republic?  If so, where (and when) do I learn it and how much does it cost to learn?

Can a Druid/Barbarian multiclass wildshaped into a giant constrictor snake use my Athletics skill in the place of the constrict attack?  A barbarian/druid multiclass can have a much better grapple than a lot of wild shapes have specialized grapple DC set to (especially when including feats like Prodigy to get expertise in Athletics).   Would I be resigned to using the animal's DC for those special attacks, or can I use an Athletics check instead?

When creating a variant human you get an extra skill to be proficient in. Does that skill have to be from your class skill list, or can it be any skill available to any class? For instance, if I'm playing a variant human barbarian, can I take acrobatics as my extra skill?

So if in play, my character spends a lot of time trying to learn a new skill, or a new language, or learn how to use a tool, is there a mechanic for adding that on the sheet? Or does 5E streamline away all such customization with blanket modifiers? I haven't found anything that reflects the ability to grow or develop in a focused way, just blanket improvements as stats increase, proficiency bonus goes up, levels rise, or as multiclassing happens?  The core question is: Is there any focused spot improvement for characters in D&amp;D 5e, or is it all blanket modifier increases?  Most other games have this kind of thing. Take Improv classes? Improve your Performance skills. Go running a lot? Improve your Athletics skills. Practice at the gun range? Improve your firearms skill, all at the cost of some earned resource like XP. D&amp;D seems like characters can sit on the couch between combats and improve as much as other characters who actively work on their skillsets.

Forgive me for not being good at game terminology, but there is one concept that I simply have been unable to fully grasp after reading the core rulebook.  In the book, there are mentions of Character Level, Class Level and Level (just being mentioned as level or "your" level).  Are we talking character level or class level when I'm asked "What's your level?"  Could anyone make a solid explanation that I can remember? The rest of my party are rules- and character-building nuts, and they often get sidetracked with potential combinations when trying to explain even simple things.
