    On the contrary, it shifts it up towards 18. The first jpeg is the probability distribution for the 3d6 method, and the second jpeg is for the 4d6-drop-lowest method. (The height of the bar is the probability of that score coming up.) It's more likely to get higher scores, which will produce...

    The Vital Strike feats, along with Deadly Aim, seem like a great start. You've got a great Cha, so UMD versatile weapon (APG: bard 2, ranger 2, sor/wiz 3) to switch those arrows/bolts to bludgeoning or cold iron or silver or slashing, as needed. The other types of DR can be handled with...
