[QUOTE="rowport, post: 2620106, member: 9729"] I agree with Pielorinho about his low stats being INT and WIS. From my impression of the character, I would put them this way: STR 17, DEX 14, CON 14, INT 6, WIS 8, CHA 12 Note that if I was doing Jayne as point-buy, I would not make either good/bad scores that extreme- he is not quite that strong, nor quite that dumb. But, from your array I think that is the best fit. Having said that, if you want your version to really have useful skills (tracking, spot, listen, etc.) putting the scores as I did above would make it fairly impossible. I like the Ranger/Barbarian multiclass idea; or you might try Ranger/Fighter for the feats. If you do want to focus more on the skills, do not put the INT 6! But, even putting a mediocre score there you could have plenty of points- he would start at level 1 (Ranger 1) with 6+1 for human even if he then took a penalty for low INT. You might also consider the Able Learner feat if you multiclass, which would let you buy any of your skills at 1 point each instead of 2 points cross-class. That would get you the most bang for your buck on buying skills with a lower INT. If you do that, just realize that you are not optimizing the character! Making a skills-based Ranger character with low INT and WIS is just going to be limiting, no doubt about it. [/QUOTE]
