Feats, absolutely. Multiclass I'm ambivalent on, and rollled stats just imbalance the characters (if I want characters to have weak stats I'll just use a lower point buy or stat array)
I won't play in a game where I don't roll, so... Of the remaining two, I'd go for feats long before multiclassing.As the title says.
DM says the player can use feats, multiclassing or roll for stats. BUT you can only pick one your choice.
Thoughts?
Male of female, half-orcs had a maximum strength of 18 before rolling %, so 18/00 was max for both. They had a max of 19 con, though.In 1E there were maximum scores by race. I think Elves had a maximum of 19 Dexterity, so that is doable. Half-Orcs though got a +1 to strength and the maximum strength for a half-orc male was I believe 18/99 so they could not use this to get a 19.
This is a solved problem, solved by this very forumRolling for stats is a terrible idea and its about time they nixed it for good.
I agree with you, and I can't forget that during 5e playtest the original idea was that feats were supposed to be bold and powerful deals! But somehow the old "better weak than broken" designers fear crept in and they delivered too many underwhelming feats.As a player I'd choose feats. I almost never multiclass, so that's not an issue. Rolled stats, point buy, or array all work for me.
Oh, and I'll throw my hat in the ring about feats. The problem isn't the power feats, which are about equivalent to +2 on your primary ability*, but the sheer number of terrible feats. Add in the fact that you're only going to get a handful (at best) over the course of a campaign, and you're going to see the same ones over and over again.
*Sharpshooter is slightly above the norm, but only because two abilities negate most penalties for ranged attacks, making the -5/+10 easier to do.

Another table. If already that strict, afraid how the game will go.As the title says.
