Level Up a Character in Dungeons and Dragons 3.5
Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is the first Role playing game (RPG). In D&D, you fight monsters. When you kill a monster, you get Experience Points (XP, or Exp). When you get a high enough amount of XP, you level up, and this is how to proceed.
Steps
- Choose one class to level up. Many players choose to level up in a single class throughout a game. However, you can choose to multi-class, which means leveling up in a different class.
- Increase your BAB. If it does increase, look at your attacks and increase the modifiers as needed.
- Third, Increase your base save bonuses, which is the same as increasing your BAB.
- If you are at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, or 20th level, and every 4th level beyond that, add +1 to your ability score.
- Increase your Health Points (HP) by rolling your HD (Hit Dice), which is found in the Player's HandBook (PHB). Check your class to see what your HD is. Add your Con modifier to the result to determine how much HP you gain. If your Con modifier ever changes, the change retroactively affects all of the Hit Dice that you've gained. (For example, if a level 4 character's Con modifier goes up by 1, he gains 4 HP.)
- Increase your skill points. Check in the PHB to see how many skill points you get to spend.
- At 3rd, 6th, 9th, and every 3 levels later, you gain a feat. Choose that feat from the PHB. Also, check your class to see if you increase by a feat at that level.
- If you are a spellcaster, choose new spells to use. Check with the PHB to see how many spells you know and can use.
- Check your class to see any features that come with your class.
