Like I said, I'll just have to fiddle with it.  I'm not sure what the deal might be.  I'll have to double check the stats too.

I didn't even realize it was different.  That's what I'd put in originally, but it must have automatically changed it on me at some point.

[TheTick]

That's what you end up with after the Dwarf racial adjustments.

:D  We're almost ready!

[SteveRogers]

If I just change the stats to be what Phil suggested, I should be good on the stats front, correct?

[Lotofsnow]

Yep

[TheTick]

Should be on that front, yep.

[SteveRogers]

I'm still kinda flying by the seat of my pants.   8)

[SteveRogers]

Alright.  So, I'm looking at this, and I think the reason I had an Extra Feat is because it said I only had 3.  But it isn't counting Stunning Fist (which TheTick and Phil both suggested) because I don't meet all the requirements to have it.  It says I have to have a Base Attack of 8, but it looks like the base attack stat on the sheet right now is 0.  I'm not sure if that's something I can fix or if I just can't use Stunning Fist?

[Lotofsnow]

Stunning fist isn't a selectable feat, it is a free bonus feat as a monk class feature you get at level 1. I wan't counting it when importing your sheet into Hero Builder.

However, at first level, you should have 2 selectable feats: 1 for being level 1, and 1 as an additional monk bonus feat selected from this list: Catch Off-Guard, Combat Reflexes, Deflect Arrows, Dodge, Improved Grapple, Scorpion Style, and Throw Anything.

Your character incorrectly has 3 selectable feats: Toughness, Improved Grab, and Dodge. Phil's monk had all of those feats, but he was Human, so he gets an additional feat at 1st level for being human for a total of 3. Since you're a dwarf, you only get 2.

It is confusing that PCGen (and other character builders) list free class feature feats under the rest of your feats.

[SteveRogers]

Ah, okay.  I think I've fixed it maybe then.

Did this fix it?

[Lotofsnow]

Heh, now you're short a feat. Looks like you picked Improved Unarmed Strike as a selectable feat? No need to. Monks get that for free.

Also, you should have one more skill point to work with or one more hit point, depending how you plan on using your favored class bonus (each level you gain in your favored class, so probably Monk, gives you either +1 HP or +1 skill point, not sure if PCGen takes that into account).

So, your feats on the PDF should be something like:

1. Feat you pick from the choice of all accessible feats for being level 1
2. Feat you pick from the following as a Monk bonus feat: Catch Off-Guard, Combat Reflexes, Deflect Arrows, Dodge, Improved Grapple, Scorpion Style, and Throw Anything.
3. Improved Unarmed Strike (free bonus feat no need to select)
4. Stunning Fist (free bonus feat no need to select)

[SteveRogers]

Yeah, PCGen wasn't letting me add any more skill points.  *shakes fist at PCGen*

Edit:

I have PCGen pulled up right now.  I've selected Improved Grapple as my Bonus Monk Feat.  You said Stunning Fist and Improved Unarmed Strike don't count towards my feats?  So, I'll have Toughness as my 1 selected feat and then Improved Grapple as my Bonus Monk Feat.  That sound right?

[Lotofsnow]

Just pick which skill and I'll put it in your statblock.
