[QUOTE="TheLoneRanger1979, post: 6819068, member: 6804148"] We thought of making the Cleric's character sort of a camp follower when the player doesn't show up and act in a passive manner only (as in providing healing, but not actually fighting). The in story explanation is that he (being a chronic alcoholic) sometimes just refuses to fight and acts only if the situation is really dire.... :p I know the fighters get the most opportunities to get feats and originally i have planned my character to have 20 Str..... but.... it just somehow felt wrong when i looked at the end result. I never quite liked arrays that had one score significantly higher then all the rest and i like playing versatile characters. Unfortunately when i tried this in our 4E grand campaign, it came back to bite me in the gluteus maxiums, as i was always bellow the "to hit power curve" and many of my abilities were tied to my ability to hit (i was playing a warlord then). That's why i'd like to consult any of you guys with more long term experience as how would this reflect my usefulness to the group. If we were just a heavy-role-playing bunch, then i would not hesitate to go with an even less "powered" array (like 16-16-16 or so), but half out players are power gamers and the grand campaign will be a premade. So far, i like the proposals i get. Another question just crept in my mind though. If i take a few levels in a second class, and at some of that levels that class offers a second fighting style, do i get it? [/QUOTE]
