[QUOTE="ilgatto, post: 8901698, member: 86051"] OK. For reasons mentioned upthread, I vote for the following stats for the regular xcyclops: STR 18 DEX 12 CON 17 (and hence 9d10+27 HD) INT 10 WIS 9 CHA 14 Come a-[I][B]flaming[/B][/I]-gain?! Is an odd-and-even ratio for scores a rule in 5E? [I][B]Whatever[/B][/I] for? Well, that messes up my vote and complicates things [I][B]considerably[/B][/I]. S-o-o-o-o, in that case, I am strongly in favor of STR 18 and CON 17 in any case, for 1 even score and 1 odd. Then, I'd say that I'd go for a higher INT than WIS, wherefore INT 11 or INT 10 in combination with WIS 10 or WIS 9, respectively. Either way, the odd-vs-even score would then be 2-2. As to DEX and CHA, I'd be in favor of a relatively low DEX because one eye. So DEX 12 and CHA 15? So is my vote gonna be for: STR 18 DEX 12 or 11 CON 17 (and 9d10+27 HD) INT 11 WIS 10 CHA 15 or 14? Hmm..., although I had kind of gotten used to CHA 14, I guess I don't really care if it's gonna be CHA 15 as per [USER=6947639]@Casimir Liber[/USER] if that's means worse saves vs the hypnostare. Since we seem to agree that DEX isn't gonna be lower than 11, I guess that would mean DEX 12 for me because of the odd-and-even rule. [I]Ya ya-a-aysus...![/I] Back to basics. Since my reboot, and without taking into account [I][B]any[/B][/I] of the above, I'd prefer this, mainly because I still think of xclopi being ogrish/giantish in stats rather than trollish. STR 18 DEX 10 CON 17 (and therefore 9d10+27 HD) INT 10 and therefore WIS 9... ... which would make it CHA 15 because of the odd-and-even rule. But I suppose this only adds to the confusion because that opens up a whole new chapter for DEX? [/QUOTE]
