[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6997816, member: 463"] I see a lot of medium armour IMCs, and DEX 14 seems very common. My own 5e campaigns and the several 5e campaigns I've played in (in London) all used point buy or default array BTW. IME rolling works well in Classic D&D but badly with the 3e/4e/5e attribute bonus system; it creates wild variation in character power. Last time I used it was in a Pathfinder campaign a few years back. Mind you, a lot of characters IMCs are Barbarians, who either wear medium armour or max out CON for Unarmoured Defence. I do have a bit of an issue with the 5e 'bad' armours like padded and hide (and even leather), these could just as well have been left off the table I think, much as 4e had a reduced number of armour types. And after watching a bunch of historical armour Youtube videos they tend to bug me a bit. I'd have been fine with just 3 or 4 armour types. [/QUOTE]
