[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8382854, member: 23751"] Whether you budge on this or not is irrelevant. You don't play in my game. In my game, per RAW, I as DM changed the rule with the power given to me by the game to change any rule. False Equivalences are false. First, I removed it because it's unrealistic, not boring. Every PC isn't going to be born with the same stats. Second, a proper analogy would be if hammers were unrealistic, so I removed all hammers from the game. At that point it would have nothing to do with paladins or PCs. It would just be a general house rule. Other than the fact that you are anyway. "Make your highest stat" means something different than "highest placed stat." The former allows it to be after bonuses. The latter does not, and does not exist in the PHB. By adding +2 to the 13 I have made it my highest state. You've said it, but your words don't make it true. And no, I don't have to ask which D&D dwarves. Since 1e the single D&D dwarven(all subraces) archetype is fighters and clerics both. That means that hill dwarf fighters and mountain dwarf clerics are both archetypical. There is no further subdivision beyond dwarf. I think you actually believe that. There may not even be elves in the world. Another decision that I as DM can make per RAW that can affect character generation. [/QUOTE]
