[soppathekeitto]

Hi i just got my D&D 4th edition red box from post. First time EVER that i play D&D and i am buildin character i stompled an a problem and i cant find any help from google i hope that there are some one that hav played this version or can tell me what i need do too.

I hav just builded my charachter i hope that i hav filled it right but now i am little confused what is passive insight ? i cant find it in the sheet any where ?

"Fill in your Intiative modifier.This is the same as your Dex modifier, and use it in combat to determine the order in which characters and monster take their turns." ok this i get it but after this ....
"Fill in your passiver Insight and passive Perception.
Your passive Insgiht is 10+ your Insight check, and
your passive Persception is 10 + your Perception check. ... where do i but this ?

here is my sheet

Your Wisdom is 11, so you get no modifiers to add to either Insight or Perception, so your Passive Insight and Passive Perception is 10 for both.

If I'm not mistaken, the character sheet you're using is for D&D Essentials. The Essentials sheet doesn't have Passive Insight and Passive perception listed on them. If you wanted to use the sheet that includes them, download the first link 4e sheet here:

Oh that is mutch harder to fill.... and oh this is Essential that come with the red box..

Never played 4E, but I know the answer to your question.

The best mindset to have when looking at stats, is that each of your main stats parents kindred stats that are listed below them. Passive uses of these kind skills, such as with Insight and Perception, are toggled on at all times, and have a higher minimum value than when used actively like a player says, "I look at that bag of poo." Passively you would comment that "you see a bag of poo out of the corner of your eye.")

Yeah, when they came out with Essentials, they basically simplified the game quite a bit so newcomers like yourself wouldn't get so overwhelmed by all the complicated parts. It just takes a little getting used to. But anyway, to answer your question, since your sheet doesn't have a space for them just write it down under the Character Notes section. When the DM asks you what your passive perception or passive insight are, you can say what you wrote down.

I've been playing 4th edition from 2008-2013, so if you have any more questions I would be happy to answer for you. Happy gaming!

Now i feel stupid .. i found those under Wisdom skill list... god damit B). So basically i but only 10 for both and i dont check that trained thing ?

[Teldurn]

That's correct.

[soppathekeitto]

Have to battle that first battle in the cave tomorrow. I hope that i survived. BUt i have to check more about those "second wind" cards i didnt C any mention about them begining of the starter book only in the end. B(.

with this i start to hunt some goblins B) http://puu.sh/6njHc

Initiative is it so that if the chracters get bigger number they start and if the monsters then they start or invidual turns per character and monster like

monster,character,monster,monster,monster,character,character... ?

Good luck in your game!

If I understand you correctly, then yes you're right. Initiative is the order of who goes before who. So for example, if Soppa has an initiative of 14 and monster 1 has initiative of 12 and monster 2 has initiative of 17, then the turns go like this
Monster 2 (17)
Soppa (14)
Monster 1 (12)

You roll 1d20 and add that number to your Initiative modifier, which is 1 as you can see.
