So, in layman's terms, how are we doing HP?

This is my understanding: Your class determines your hit dice, whether that be a d6, d8, or d10. Your constitution bonus determined the additional HP you get for each level.

So for me, level one= 8+2
Level two= level one hp+ 1d8+2
Level three= level two hp+ 1d8+2

Is that right?

Character Backstory:
Years before Pitanios' birth, a bloody rivalry arose between the dragonborn of his small tribe and the dwarves with whom they shared a mountain. The two factions had remained peaceful, if not friendly, neighbors for decades until a large group of humans decided they deserved the mountain more than its current inhabitants. Being relative newcomers themselves, the dragonborn lacked either the numbers or the defenses to hold against a much more numerous foe. Rather than be wiped out, the leaders of the tribe contacted the dwarven elders and pleaded for temporary asylum. Although they were reluctant at first, the dwarves agreed to provide shelter for the dragonborn as long as the dragonborn took care of the actual fighting themselves. With both sides satisfied and now impenetrable dwarven caves protecting their rear, the dragonborn quickly turned the tide of battle against the humans. Within a matter of days, the humans had been slaughtered and it was soon discovered that they had truly intended to settle on the mountain and, as such, had all of their riches with them.

The dragonborn, happy to thank their saviors, generously offered a third of the humans' goods to their dwarven savior. The dwarves, however, did not feel the offer was nearly so generous. They felt that the shelter they had offered the dragonborn was the only reason the draconic descendants were still alive and, as such, were entitled to the entirety of the captured treasure. Whether you'd like to call if pride or stubbornness, what started as a civil discussion between two allies soon devolved into flying fists and clashing blades as the mountain that had been the savior of the dragonborn, now became their deathbed. Surrounded on all sides by solid, stone walls and even stouter dwarves, the dragonborn stood no chance. A scant few hours later and the scraping of swords against flesh and armor had died down. In its place remained only the gasps of the dying, and the anguished wails of the prisoners the dwarves had taken. This sorry group consisted mainly of those too old or sick to fight, but also one hulking female of a dragon born who, although a fierce fighter, was cradling in one arm a large, sapphire egg.

As the young mother crouched in the corner of the cell which herself and the rest of the prisoners, growling threateningly at every passing dwarf, something tapped her on her broad, bloodstained back. She turned to face a small hole in the wall and was greeted by two glowing, green eyes. The whispered conversation that followed was quick and left the mother unsure of herself for the first time in her young life. From the hall leading to the cell came the rambunctious sound of approaching dwarven warriors, signalling that a decision had been made concerning the prisoners. She looks at the egg one last time as her eyes filled with love and, without a word, shoved the egg into the open arms of the green-eyed creature.

Mere minutes later, small being clad in fur emerged from a crack in the side of the mountain and expertly descended into the river valley below. He reached into the pack slung across his back and from it drew a large, gem-like egg. Holding it close to himself to keep it warm, he quickly looks to his rear to ensure his escape had been unnoticed, then begins following the river southward.

While most of Pitanios' race are greeted upon breaching their egg with the objectively terrifying view of a scaly face, intense eyes, and razor sharp teeth, his birthing experience was quite different. Instead, his first look at the world included a bearded smile and bespectacled, jade eyes. Pitanios soon learned that his foster father, a gnome named Pontiki, had secretly been living among a dwarf clan until witnessing the slaughter of Pitanios' family. After escaping the scene with egg in tow, he had begun their new life in the nearest human settlement and used his skills in the clandestine arts to keep his new son fed. Over the years, Pontiki attempted to teach Pitanios everything he knew about remaining unseen. While the dragonborn quickly showed a surprising agility and proclivity for acrobatics, he rapidly grew to a monstrous size that prevented him from ever being truly unseen. That does not mean, however, he was not a successful thief. On the contrary, he was even more successful than his diminutive father. While Pontiki had to rely on true stealth, it seemed as if all of Pitanios' targets preferred to just look the other way rather than risk a confrontation with the azure behemoth. For over a decade, the two scavenged, stole, and robbed for an existence which, although meager, was filled with joy. Alas, even the long-lived gnomes must one day pass on. During Pitanios' fourteenth year of life, his lifelong tutor, best friend, and father, died in his sleep. Even as he cried bitter tears, he had to admit that it was the most peaceful death for which a career thief could hope.

One year later, Pitanios is honoring his father in the only way he knows how: pick pocketing the patrons of an inn to pay for a night of drinking. This is when he notices a flyer spouting the usual rubbish about adventuring and being a hero. He begins to turn away when the promise of 10,000 sovereigns catches his eye. A smile spreads across his dumbfounded face as he returns to the hiding spot he calls home. Taking only minutes to pack his meager possessions, he is soon on the road to Ulna Themar.

Who is that a picture of? I noticed she's also your profile pic
@BlackPanther
I'm pretty sure Beast teaches PE
@Joshua Tamashii I understand that, but even with similar stat levels, we could still have radically different characters depending on how we play them. Also, with the amount of interest in this RP, isn't it very likely for some people to be playing the same class?
@Joshua Tamashii
I don't see why we can't both play rogues, considering the fact that yours will specialize more in traps and mine will be more focused on pure stealth
I think I'd like a dragonborn rogue that's just freaking massive, but tries to be sneaky. Whether he actually is stealthy or just scares people into looking the other direction, I'm not sure yet.

Magnus had briefly marveled at the strength of Jin's protective shields as they stopped bullet after bullet, but as Makoto lead him closer to the officer, his mind snapped back into focus. He was worries that they'd be seen approaching the leader of the soldiers, but a couple of very convenient smoke clouds obscured he and his classmate from view long enough for her to take the man down. With her job done, and Makoto rapidly retreating, Magnus drags the man's limp form around a building and out of view. He quickly strips the officer of his uniform, confirming his suspicions that the soldiers were Hydra personnel. He dresses himself in the uniform, which fit surprisingly well, but has to repress the urge to shudder as he thinks of all the atrocities men and women had committed while wearing this uniform.

After taking a moment to compose himself and recollect the speech patterns, mannerisms, and body language he had noticed in the officer, Magnus briskly walks into view of the Hydra members with his head held high and his stride military in appearance. He looks around at the soldiers with a look of disdain in his eye. Spittle suddenly flies from his mouth as he barks in German and slaps the barrels of nearby Hydra weapons toward the ground, "Stop firing, you idiots! You were given nonlethal weapons for a reason, so use them! We need as many of the metahumans alive as possible so we can unlock the secret of their powers. Kill the untermenschen, capture the ubermenschen. One of them is more valuable then all of you put together, understood?" With his body posture making it clear that he had no doubts his orders would be followed, Magnus draws a shock baton and advances on his fellow students with a look of pure malice on his face. "Hopefully the soldiers will do as I say, giving the other students a chance to get the civilians out of here or fight back. If one of my classmates gets too close though, I'll have to attack them to keep my cover," his mask of rage revealing nothing as the thoughts flit through his mind.
I am a complete noob to D&D. How do I begin making a character and what does the pevel have to do with anything?
I'm definitely interested, but I've never been a participant in D&D. As long as you're willing to teach, I'm willing to learn
