[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7277682, member: 22779"] Why not? If he started as rogue, he'd be no problem. There's no minimums for your base class. And no, [MENTION=6789021]Yardiff[/MENTION], that's not pulling out my "against type" character. I POSTED my entire group for perusal and apparently that's not a good enough test. When I talked about my ranger, the guesses netted one out of three of the posited stats. ((Oh, no one cares about the other three, so, there goes the whole "I can guess your stats thing".)) I mean, is a hunter ranger with sharpshooter actually playing against type? Seriously? I dump statted Con, both for the in game reason that the character was quite young and the out of game meta-thinking that my archer character isn't going to get hit much anyway, why bother with Con? Then I got told that Alertness was a totally out of place feat. Umm, what? Largely guaranteed advantage on 2-3 attacks in the first round of combat with Sharpshooter? That's out of place? Plus cannot be surprised? Dunno about your games, but, that's come up more than once in mine. But, hey, the goalposts are on roller skates anyway, so, this conversation is largely pointless. The claim was, "I can ALWAYS guess the point buy value character's stats". Now it's "Well, I can guess the top three stats, if the character is created the sole way that I would optimize that character". I mean, FFS, I GAVE the arrays for five characters and no one is apparently able to match the stats to the classes. That's a heck of a lot easier than trying to actually guess the stats. And, because it's posted, there's no way anyone could be cheating. But, then, if you can't cheat, then you can't whine about people lying and cheating when they smack you down for making ridiculous claims that you can't back up. Must be nice to be in a position where you ensure that you "win" on the Internet instead of actually discussing with any intellectual honesty. [/QUOTE]
