[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7341736, member: 6803664"] Then I would MC to fighter. And I wouldn't likely look back. See, after initial creation, I make most of my choices based upon what's developing within the story. Not math, not a "build', not min/maxing. Not "Ooh, if I switch to ___ I'll get xyz - vs staying a ____ & only gaining B". Story. Even if the choice is anything but optimal. It's how in a PF game last year I ended up with a Tiefling wizard:14 (divination)/PALADIN:1 And the character began as LE & along the way converted to LG. Not the arc I'd generally envisioned. Absolutely non-optimal. But hey, that's how play evolved. So.... Wizard:14/Paladin:1 And here in 5e I'm faced with a tough story choice for my 1/2ling warlock. The next time she lvs she'll get an ASI/Feat. 1) Increase her Wisdom? She's young. An actual kid. Age 11 now. Because she doesn't know any better/understand/realize, I put her Wisdom as her 2nd lowest stat (8). But thanks to a Cubic Gate/Amulet of the Planes mishap that started her career & actual play she's been adventuring for 2 years now. She's [I]not[/I] a rookie adventurer anymore. She's learned. But is it time to show that growth through a Wisdom increase & a slight change in how I play her? Has she learned enough yet? [B]OR[/B] 2) Actual play & dice rolls have also revealed her to be amazingly talented when it comes to making medicine checks to stabilize 0HP comrades. The # of natural 20s she's rolled, putting other characters right back into action, is just uncanny. If ever there's a character that has (or is certainly developing) the healer feat it's Bree Burrfoot - self-proclaimed Awesome Adventurer, Warlock [SIZE=1](fey patron, chain pact)[/SIZE], treasure hunter & now.... Combat Medic? I admit, I didn't envision her as a healer. But apparently my D20 has its' own ideas. [/QUOTE]
