[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7476719, member: 2629"] Average or better - meaning in the top 50% of characters efficiency? You don't need to be that efficient for the game to work wonderfully. As long as the PC isn't woefully inefficient, you can have a great amount of fun. For example, I've seen an orc wizard that started with a 15 Intelligence and a spellbook he'd stolen from a farmer that was a low level wizard. All of his starting spells and cantrips were the spells that he thought a farmer would want to have to tend to a farm. There were a lot of inventive uses of magic by the wizard. He was not great with combat magic - at first, but grew into a mighty Eldritch Knight over time. I'd say that he was a very inefficient character - especially at very low levels, but he was always a blast. [/QUOTE]
