[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9277238, member: 7025282"] Exactly! I usually point buy but wanted a “frontline” alchemist. I don’t know why…I just did. I filmed my rolls for my pals but they would never question me. Best rolled perhaps I have ever had. In fact, I thought eh, too much. So I rolled AGAIN. Statistically absurd. Either one bananas with first being best. Rolled a third time to just see where it would end. The “worst” was a 16 and two 14s… So I am going to play a frontline alchemist who is a duergar with sunlight sensitivity. Not to win a medal but we like the old school limitations. I will try to get a blade cantrip at some point but cantrips are so tight! I want him to be throwing bombs…for kicks and flavor taking acid splash and poison spray flavored as bombs. If I end up in sunlight it will be good. Later will try to get booming blade or gfb and firebolt. Since my scores are so good I might take weird things areas of ASIs. Artificer initiate maybe…perhaps even poisoner. Another thing I noticed since starting this thread is the rolls really free up some infusions…no need for stat boosting items really. I think the good stats also free me up to just do flavor more without worrying about some contribution…but survival is almost never a problem it seems. Even with god stats I still think battlesmith is more potent for what I want to do. I like going the weird route. Even had a weird idea about a dip into warlock and calling his artificer stuff “infernal” tech to keep it more magical and less science gadgety… [/QUOTE]
