[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7578860, member: 20564"] The DM may trust your judgement, but I think your judgement may be more focused on NPCs than creating a PC. I don't say that maliciously, but the math of the game [B]for PCs[/B] really assumes you have range of ability scores that don't max out at a +1 modifier because you'll be outside bounded accuracy. Assuming the rest of the group used standard array, point buy, or rolled I don't think you'll be able to hold up your end of supporting the group; the PC will be worse then any replacement character made from those methods. I would strongly suggest using a standard ability score generation method and just fitting it to the character. "He's strong like Grandfather Jack, and has his eyes as well" is perfectly valid from a descendant point of view. As for Half-Elf vs. Human - well, you're right on the cusp between them to pick. For me personally, I think fey ancestry can show up for generations so I'd head towards half-elf, but that's just me. [/QUOTE]
