    Joe Average Stats, class recomendations?

    Play a commoner, wield a scythe. Impale yourself on the first monster you see, then reroll a new character with real stats. Alternate option, Warlocks need no good stats, so play another one. Put the 13 in dex, and 12 in Con. Make sure all the invocations you take have no save. Devil's sight...

    Looting Bodies

    As many have said, it depends on circumstances. There are many reasons why the Characters would forget to loot the bodies, from load-bearing bosses, to fatal injuries, to villainous monologues. But the key question is, when the players remember, is there a chance for them to return to the...

    best 5th level spell for blaster sorcerer

    I would recommend ignoring all that utility and versatility stuff, and blowing stuff up proper! Firebrand is perhaps the best spell for AoE, as you can almost always hit every target without including a friendly. It does get a bit pricy though, requiring an alchemists fire as material component.

    Help a gamer friend of mine with bad stat rolls.

    Play a bard. Serve as dinner, then write up a new character. That one is obviously suicidal. And besides, with a 6 con and 6 wis it is not likely to have survived kindergarten, let alone any training that may have been required.

    Is D&D Your Primary RPG?

    Not in the slightest. HERO System has that honor. D&D is reserved for evenings of boredom and casual Dungeon Crawling.
