[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7276613, member: 28301"] Because you would read what he wrote and then change it so you can be correct. But standard array with standard human leaves you with 16, 15, 14, 13, 11, 9. SS means Dex is highest, that's the 16. You could actually make it lower since you took archery style, you would do that only for purposes of this post, no reasonable player would do that. They would max the attack stat that also is defense, initiative and saves. 15 or 13 will go into CON, so you can play for Resilient CON, I would choose 15 as you get HP also. You have space for 2 more feats but used a resilient spot already, so 14 into WIs S D 16 C 15 W 14 I CHR Leaving you a 13, 12 and an 8, where it doesn't matter what you do with them. I would suspect you would pick some odd places to put them just to be proven right, that's not the point. You didn't specify subclass either. If you decide not to max out dex and use feats. I can see putting the 13 in STR to maybe take athlete or something later. You could also for the purpose of "winning" this argument make some type of thrower build, putting the 16 in STR and using axes or something to throw. Someone said they made a dedicated javelin throw here, just to say they made one. I think its a lie but no matter, I have never seen one in 35+ years but I guess someone would do it if they had a DM that doesn't track ammo. You can FORCE an odd build just to be correct, but that's all it would be. No one would make a build S 11 D 9 C 13 I 15 W 14 Ch 16 Except to say "See I said you couldn't guess my build!!!! I win!!!!" So you get the point. Anything else is just argument for the sake of argument. [/QUOTE]
