I'm about to embark on my first D&D 3.5 campaign and have no fucking idea how to fill out a character sheet. I created a samurai but idk am I supposed to roll my abilities or what.
It's online too so I'm especially worried about the DM getting annoyed at a noob (he probably has other stuff on his plate)

>Playing a samurai in 3.5
You may want to re-think this decision
Just ask your DM how he wants you to pick your stats. Honestly that's something he should have told you already.

Am I gonna be utterly useless?
Also as an aside is there merit in picking up crit based characters like fencers or rogues over straight up damage stuff like berzerkers?
>>54225848
Yeah probably.
The biggest problem with crit based characters is they stop being useful against enemies that are immune to crits, which are quite common in 3.5, especially at high levels. Kind of depends what monsters the DM decides to throw at you, but obviously you can't always predict that.

Mate I have one last question, this is a 30 point buy, I found a point buy calculator but it has every stat minimum at 8. Is that the way it's supposed to go ?
>>54225955
Yes, unless your DM says otherwise those are the default pointbuy rules.
About to go full CHA with this samurai
>>54225735
Are you actually playing the Samurai class or is it a Fighter fluffed as a samurai? The samurai class is abysmally bad.
>>54227094
It's a samurai but apparently rebalanced with this
Also why is samurai so bad? I know fuck all

>filling out a character sheet is too hard
Just read the fucking book. It's players like you that annoy me the most. Want to play a game, at least try to learn the rules.

Shit nice, cheers m8
It's like fate tells me to not roll Samurai I might just reroll ay

Play a fighter or paladin (or Swordsage or other Tome of Battle class, I'm not familiar with them but I hear they're better). Look into the kensai prestige class.
