Warpiglet-7
Lord of the depths
So I recently rolled some stats that would allow for 16s in two mental stats (chr and int) if I take a tiefling or half elf, while still having decent con and dex.
I was excited; I can make another artificer that is good at social skills.
I haves decided I am tired of SAD characters generally. I wish martial attacks with weapons were a composite of physical abilities maybe an average bonus of 2 or more.
Likewise, I would want spellcasters to also attack via a composite (that warlock woould not dump int or perhaps wisdom).
A few things would happen I think. First, there would be a little more diversity in skill proficiency and fighters would have a little boost. If dex and con were part of their attack composite, they would be able to fill those gaps in with attack stats.
Wizards et al would have to be careful. If they needed more than one decent “mental” stat in addition to chr, they might not also be able to afford a higher con and dex.
If the composite was an average of three bonuses, there would be more diversity. There would different ways that people could acquire the same composite.
Just random musing on the topic but would be happy to see something other than cookie cutter characters…
