[QUOTE="Nemio, post: 6400148, member: 6775814"] Don't worry everyone, all advice is appreciated :) [MENTION=27252]TrippyHippy[/MENTION] I agree that if the average (Human) Commoner only has 10 on all stats then having a halfling only half their size be much stronger than them can seem a bit off. I'm trying to find a good balance between realism and fun. If my sister thinks it's fun to make a little raging guy full of muscles to be kicking the butt of things twice as big as her then I'm going to let her. But believe me, it's not what I had in mind either :D I'm just rolling with it, I've learned alot about being a new DM (from this board and others) and one of the most important things was always try to say Yes (even though it might be followed by a but ...) Like in this case I told her that she couldn't use Heavy weapons because of her size, which she didn't care that much about. [MENTION=59057]UngeheuerLich[/MENTION] Thanks, that's some good advice. I already thought that all those 15's might not be ideal but I think I'm going to leave it like that for now anyway. We went over all the attributes together and she ranked them in the order that she found to be important. I'm trying to resist the habit of optimizing characters like I sometimes do in other games. It's refreshing to see my sister just picking what she think is cool even though it might not be optimal. Once she gets to level 4 I can indeed suggest to get 2 attributes to 16 in one go :) [/QUOTE]
