[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7452657, member: 6689161"] Ever question why ringmail is available? It is a mere +4 bonus and is heavy so no dex bonus... I just rolled a character and will get ringmail. I rolled 12, 15, 16 (wow, started to get excited!) 11, 7 (ok...) 6! (note how much this deviates from your typical long time reader first time poster array of 18, 15, 12, 18, 17, 13)? Damn! Wanted another battling warlock and decided I could take variant human hexblade and get heavy armor with a feat. My 6 will be in dex...had already thought of him as a previously tormented scarred up and beaten down ...turns out he has lingering injuries (6 dex with a limp). Warlocks don't have much coinage to start. Voila--a use for ringmail! 16 AC with a shield at 1st with a 6 dex... Now where to drop that 7? is there an armor to help with two low scores?! (I am thinking that if I get this guy to thrive I will be really pleased. The six is mitigated by heavy armor...thinking about a short fuse and trauma history and blows to head to decrease awareness for a 7 wisdom...). Somewhat mitigated by wisdom save for warlock. Goal will be to go with Warlock (hexblade) for a total of two levels and then switch over to sorcerer (divine soul with evil magic affinity). So he will be mad as I plan to use a greatsword... Final Array: 16, 6!, 14, 11, 8, 16 Background: Mercenary Captain Heavily armored feat HP: 10 AC: 16 Cantrips: EB, Friends (Later Booming Blade) Spells: Armor of Agathys, Hex Skills: Athletics, Persuasion, Intimidation, Arcana, Survival [/QUOTE]
