[QUOTE="SBMC, post: 2493137, member: 30040"] Troll probably tastes like chicken! Bu I do wonder if that is doable...I think I may actualy try that! If your looking for heroic scores the easiest thing to do is to increase the "base" of it; essentially put in a "floor: of some kind like that with the poin-buy systems. I posted this before on this thread: For example; you could use the standard point buy system but raise the starting score from 8 to 9 to 10; or drop it down to 7 or 6. I played in a game whee the DM beleived that since characters were supposed to be the physical and mental elite of the world that he did the following: Get 1 score of 18 in the classes primary ability Fighter: STR, CON or DEX Rouge: DEX, CHA or INT Wizard: INT Sorceror: CHA Bard: Any Barbarian: STR or CON Paladin: STR, WIS or CHA Ranger: STR, WIS or DEX Druid: CHA or WIS NOTE: You had to choose this prior to rolling any other scores. Then get two rolls of 12+2d6 drop the lower which could be used however you chose. NOTE: You had to choose these, in order, prior to rolling any other scores. The last three were rolled via 5d6 drop the lowest 2. Like I said; he held that adventurers are the ultimate heroes of their world; Hercules, Achilles, Ajax, Hector as examples (just as examples seing as I watchd "Troy" again last night for the 1,000th time!). Aragorn, Gandolf etc. fall into this category as well with this methodology. As such half their scores should be forced to be above average by far and the primary one maxed out; following this method that is. And I do agree with it as long as the campaign properly challenges the characters. [/QUOTE]
