help?

i am confusing body points with build points, can someone explain

A bit more on Body points and Races: The amount of Body Points (here after: BP) a character starts with is dependant on which race the character is. All High elves for example will start off with the same amount of BP as eachother. All Barbarian characters will start off with the same amount of BP as eachother. But Barbarians and High Elves have diffrent starting values of BP. To increase the amount of BP a character has, the player can spend Build points to up the number of body points. The amount that BP increase is based off of the Character's Profession, so for example a Warrior gets more BP per build spent than a Mage does.

Looks like other people took care of your inquiry faster than I could type!

if i NPC and get up to 15 build points may i start as a penalized profession?


by the way: thanx for all the help, im sure some of theis questions seem stupid

No, you couldn't have it be your only profession if that is what you mean. You must take one of the Starting Professions as the first profession of your character. You can multi class as soon as you like however.

may i start as a commoner until i build up 15 points?

While it is possible to start as a commoner, you would still be bound by taking one of the Starting Professions as your first Profession list. The list restrictions are intended to help support both the state of the In Game world as well as to balance the advantages and disadvantages that are afforded by playing a given race compared to others.

If you don't mind me asking what was the particular combination you were looking at that that the list is Penalized for the Race?

i really want to play a barbarian monk.

what is the best way to do this?
