| | | Next, you take away the lowest number in the roll. So you end up with 10, 13, 12, 15, 15, 15.
Then you choose which statistics the numbers go to. So Strength is important to a Fighter and should get one of those 15's. The same applies to Constitution.
Then the rest is more open to your preferred playing style. Charisma helps a few skills such as Intimidate. High dexterity helps your armour class (less chance of being hit) but doesn't make too much of a difference with the best armours. An intelligence of 13+ can give you greater feat access- allowing to perform better moves, cause more damage etc. Wisdom is pretty weak for fighters, that could probably be the lowest stat.
I recommend:
STR- 15 (+2)
CON- 15 (+2)
DEX- 15 (+2)
INT- 13 (+1)
WIS- 10 (-)
CHA- 12 (+1)
You get bonuses/penalties for statistics. As all are equal to or above 10 there are no penalties in this case.

| | There's still more to it. Look back at some of the stuff on previous pages. But I won't be around too much longer.
These are the skills you can put points into:
Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Ride (Dex), and Swim (Str).
Choose which ones you think you might use. You get 12 points to put into them. Where it says a stat in brackets add the bonus to the skill points you put in.
E.g. You put 3 points into Climb- add 2 thanks to Strength.
Make sure you choose a race for the character too. That may add bonuses or penalties: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/races.htm
Good luck. I'll check it for you later  |

| | Ok im thinking of either dwarf or Human.
Dwarf
Pro:Massive bonuses, +2 constitution
Con:-2 Charisma, i have low charisma already
Human
Pro:No Penalties
Con:No Bonuses
12 points to distribute
Climb:2 (Str), Craft:2 (Int), Handle Animal:1 (Cha), Intimidate:1 (Cha), Jump:1 (Str), Ride:3 (Dex), and Swim:2 (Str).
Do you think these are reasonable skill choices. I have not added the bonuses from the statistics because im not to sure on how to do that. If the above skills look strange tell me. And i really want to ride a horse Now i am going to go to sleep. Its 1:21 AM here see y'all tomorrow. Hugs and kisses to all the females and high fives to all the males  |

| | Kipi-
I hope that you have not been expecting me to join this... I am unable to. Although Magrus may be somewhat possible... the time zone I am in makes it impossible for me to be around with the Aussies, as well as any Europeans, at the same time, without being up at either 3 in the morning or around mid morning... neither of which I can do.
Ill check in... if you ever need an NPC or random charcter, you know where to look,  and I hope that you all enjoy yourselves and find a way to fit all of each other in the game.

| | The snake would have probably ended up dead quickly anyway
@Yepi, if you want to play a dwarf you can always rearrange the stats a bit. As long as they are the same numbers it doesn't matter about the positions.
Maybe something like this:
STR (Strength)- 15
CON (Constitution)- 15
DEX (Dexterity)- 12
INT (Intelligence)- 13
WIS (Wisdom) - 10
CHA (Charisma)- 15
Then increase CON to 17 and decrease CHA to 13.
This link shows the bonuses given to stats http://www.d20srd.org/srd/theBasics.htm#abilityScores. Just find the stat number under the score heading and the bonus to it, is shown immediately to the right. E.g. a STR score of 14 or 15 would net a +2 bonus. That would be added to any skill that have a strength bonus such as climb, jump or swim.
Then there are only feats left to add, there's quite a lot to choose from- http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/feats.htm. If you're looking at the horse route, you'll probably need the Mounted Combat feat. Other good ones are Power Attack which allows you to sacrifice some of your attack ability to get greater damage, but better leads onto Cleave which effectively allows you more attacks. Dodge increase your defence and leads onto other better feats that allow you greater movement around enemies and eventually Whirlwind Attack - attack all enemies surrounding you in one go.
BTW, I'm not sure about the prices of horses but mounted combat is certainly fun if you can afford one. I'm thinking of going down that route eventually too.
I know this is a lot of information, if you have any questions feel free to ask .

| Ouch!
You'll get your snake eventually. 
Horse costs:
Horse, heavy 200 gp
Horse, light 75 gp
Pony 30 gp
Warhorse, heavy 400 gp
Warhorse, light 150 gp
Warpony 100 gp
And the first three are bad in combat .
Buying a mount may have to wait after all....
So you see Venom, we're as bad off as you are.

| | I have had some good times with mounted combat... There was one campaign, were my character was very Lord of the Ringsesque. He was a Human Fighter who was married to and Elven Bard. They were basically adventuring to find a way to A) Extend my chars lifespan so he could live as long as an elf, and thus stay with his beloved bride, or B) Just turn him into an elf.
He was a badass mounted combat guy, and his crowning moment was when...
We had done a very generic "Kill the Goblins" adventure (Though still fun), we returned to town to collect our reward, only to find that the guy who hired up jacked us over. So, we went gallavanting off over the countryside looking for him, we eventually found him, and were confronted by who teo Half-plate clad bully-boys. After we dispatched those, he tried to flee on one of our horses. I in all of my limitless coolness....
Ran up to my horse, and with excelent Jump and Ride checks leapt into the saddle and spurred on my horse.
Rode past the fleeing bastard, and with one fell swing on by bastard sword, took of his head (A succesful critical, dealing somewhere in the reagion of 35 damage )
Needless to say, the awesomeness of mounted combatants has been forever engraved in my mind...
Just some food for thought you cavalrymen... |

| | | Ruthlessness? You don't know the meaning of ruthlessness....
Just wait until Twaynith gets her claws into Sh'rarn, that should teach even your pansy matron mothers a thing or two about ruthlessness
*Wanders of mutter disconcertingly under his breath, ocasional snatches of "ruthlessness", "disgraceful" and what sounds like "whips and leather" can be heard* |
