[QUOTE="FrancisJohn, post: 6401091, member: 6778347"] Two choices remain! 18 18 8 7 16 7 18 18 10 7 12 12 Current plan is to keep the STR and DEX at 18. The +5's of the 20s would have been astounding though! I am fine with CON being at 8 or 10 to reflect the starvation and malnutrition of his childhood life of slavery. Sometimes I like to think of CON like your immune system. And plus, if I can kill things before they get too close, I still get a +5 to attack with a melee.

His advanced mathematical, logical reasoning ability is stunted. WIS can only be 12 or 16. He had to get by on something, either simple common sense or instinct. The +3 to Will and Perception is nice. CHA will either be 7 or 12. Either he has a little bit of natural charm, or his personality was too beaten back by a life of slavery. The 18 18 8 7 16 7 choice is nice because of the +3 to Will and Perception, but the -1 HP kind of sucks. I'm not worried about Fort too much as a fighter.
