[QUOTE="Aion, post: 4899016, member: 84962"] Yes, we're having fun, though maybe a bit less so than at low levels, when we were all missing attacks together. It's funny that this has turned into a discussion of rolling's drawbacks, because I think the scores we started out with were pretty normal. A.’s rolls were fine (almost all in the 11 to 14 range), but since then she’s been spreading plusses around rather than focusing on the development of one or two skills. My rolls weren't spectacular, but I got some high scores thanks to racial bonuses (+2 CON, +2 CHA) and adding at levels 4 and 8. Sure, the INT 5 is ridiculous, but it provides occasional comic relief, and when a hero is very above average in several ways, I think it's interesting for him to be very below average in another. I don’t know what RAW is, but it sounds like it has something to do with RPGA, and I’m mostly interested in just playing with my friends. [FONT="]Switching classes to warlord is an unlikely option, since the DM has built an epic storyline about a religious conflict based on our choice of classes. Besides, my friend is clearly interested playing a character who wields magic so I don’t think she’d enjoy being a warlord.
