[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9089226, member: 57383"] Fine with the Strength and mental ability scores but don't care for having a Dex higher than Con. Upon reflection, it does not need to have a Dexterity on par with a Pentadrone. Most of the Modronoids were made from lower order Modrons, which have worse Dexterities: [TABLE] [TR] [TH]Modron Caste[/TH] [TH][CENTER][I]Dragon #354[/I][/CENTER][/TH] [TH][CENTER][I]Manual of the Planes WE[/I][/CENTER][/TH] [TH][CENTER]Planewalker.com[/CENTER][/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Monodrone[/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 8, Dex 13, Con —[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 10, Dex 10, Con 10[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 10, Dex 10, Con 10[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Duodrone[/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 16, Dex 9, Con —[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 12, Dex 11, Con 11[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 12, Dex 11, Con 11[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Tridrone[/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 14, Dex 13, Con —[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 14, Dex 12, Con 12[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 14, Dex 12, Con 12[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Quadrone[/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 16, Dex 18, Con —[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 16, Dex 15, Con 13[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 16, Dex 15, Con 13[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Pentadrone[/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 22, Dex 12, Con —[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 18, Dex 16, Con 14[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Str 18, Dex 16, Con 14[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] I'm now thinking it should have a really mediocre Dex like a Monodrone or Duodrone. So I'm thinking: [INDENT][B]Abilities:[/B] Str 18, Dex 10, Con 15, Int 10, Wis 9, Cha 9; +8 NA or +10 NA, I prefer the +8[/INDENT] If you're really keen on a higher Dexterity, I might be persuaded to make it Dex 12 (with +7 NA or +9 NA) or Dex 14 (with +6 NA or +8 NA). For some reason, I like the notion of giving it an even natural armor bonus, so I prefer Dex 14 slightly over Dex 12, although Dex 10 is my favourite. [/QUOTE]
