[QUOTE="Gerion of Mercadia, post: 3415461, member: 50527"] As far as a stat line - if you DM allows it; elven or mountain(grey) elven (straight out of MM1 RAW) is best. Elven: +2Dex -2 Con Mountain(grey): -2 Str +2Dex -2 Con +2 Int The point buy systems place a whopper of a "premium" on 18 as a stat - to powergame it; Base Stat line - Str 14, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 12 If Elven: Str 14, Dex 18, Con 10, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 12 If Mountain(grey) - Str 12, Dex 18, Con 10, Int 16, Wis 10, Cha 12 Constitution isn't as much of a factor depending on how the DM does HP; If your DM allows you to average 75% of your total possible HP, this winds up being very playable. The main reason for the Str score is carrying capacity. You really don't want to be encumbered, and studded leather or chain shirt, in combination with your weapons starts to add up fast. Throw in a backpack and a waterskin, and you don't really have that much room to work with at str 10. With the Mountain - you get that higher int to squeeze out that one extra skill, but your carrying cap is tight. Depends on your flava. [/QUOTE]
