Again, the yardstick is an ASI. Half an ASI is 1pt, a whole ASI is 2pts, and a double ASI is 4pts. Here is the table -[ATTACH=full]146648[/ATTACH]What I found interesting here is how little even classes focused on these pillars invest in features for them<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The strongest three - bards, rangers and rogues - invest only 5-9pts (just a few ASIs)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Clerics, druids, monks and perhaps paladins give a nod to these pillars - with 2-4pts</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The others make the minimum investment - 1pt - for their starting skills</li> </ul>Of course, casters generally have a few exploration and social spells they can cast, and sub-classes generally include a few features that support these pillars.Next will the last table - sub-classes - and then I hope to look at a possible language for describing D&D classes.
