[QUOTE="akr71, post: 8492337, member: 6801213"] How about have them create their characters as they go? This is just off the top of my head mind you, so I haven't quite thought about all the problems this would cause. They are level 14 so you know their proficiency bonus is +5. As they explore the area around them and need to make skill checks and saving throws, have them determine their relevant stat at that time. Standard array might be the easiest to implement, but other methods wouldn't be impossible. Again level 14 would indicate at least 3 ASIs/feats For example, one of the party wants to search an area for secret doors and you call for an Investigation check. What score do they want to assign to their Intelligence? Choose from the array and write it in (plus any racial modifier). How many of those ASIs did they invest in Intelligence? How about a feat that might factor into it? Are they proficient in Investigation? The decisions that they make gradually pigeon-hole what class & background they could be, until they have a filled out character sheet. Perhaps a sorcerer picks up their old arcane focus and they are filled with a surge of arcane power. Perhaps a martial character picks up a weapon and it just [I]feels right[/I] in their hand. They strap on armor like they've done it a thousand times. [/QUOTE]
