D&D 5E Help playtest my fantasy stat draft!

[Fenris-77]

I'm looking at 2 8's right now, and changing that is somewhat peripheral to my plans. A feature of the system.

Sorry about all that, and thanks for moving forward with it.

For pick #37 I'm going with +2 CHR.

Got it. That puts @akr71 up for pick #38.

Hmm, with 7 players going for 6 ability scores, that's 42 needed. There's 4 per category for 24 plus 5 wild, and the gauntlets of ogre power as a immediate sub-in. So that's 30 set scores for the 42 needed. There are also 6 +2 scores, but nothing says those will be used by people with 8s. So we're looking at 30-36 scores out of 42 - there will be 8-16 stats starting at 8 before being modified by the bottom chart. A bit less than two 8s per character. That's not judging, just looking at what we have.

Yea, my rough expectation was that everyone would probably end up with 1-2 "8 and belows", depending on how the picks shook out. I might tweak it to put some 10-11s mixed in with some of the lower "extra stuff", but I want to see how the final characters come out before I start planning out the final version.

The characters are level 4 right? So there's an ASI to apply as well, unless that's supposed to be included in the stat levels for the draft. I wasn't sure which was suppose to be the case...

I'm pretty sure at this point I'm making a Tabaxi Gloomstalker. I have an irrational urge to make him grey-furred and name him Smoke on the Water. Dah-dah-DAH dah-dah-da-DAH...

Nope, you get all the normal stuff you would get at level 4. I can't really assume an ASI because multiclassing could happen.

That's very true. Or a feat I guess. One of the reasons I decided on Gloomstalker over Assassin was that I didn't need the Alertness feat quite so badly. If I were actually going to play this character I would consider two levels of fighter to get Action Surge and the other assorted goodies. Fighter 2/Gloomstalker 3 is a pretty sweet build as an Assassin stand-in.

Plans? Don't talk about - plans? You kidding me? Plans? I just hope that this collection of ragtag picks gives me a viable class!

Yea, knowing how long the game is going to go on is pretty important for making characters. A game going from 4 to 16 is very different than a level 4 one-shot.

Hey, you're all set for a wizard/cleric/warlock!
