[QUOTE="hawkwing2k5, post: 2629847, member: 27511"] Ok this may get a reaction, its not my intent, the concept of MAD sounds a lot like muchkin gameing to me. The idea that a Paly or a monk needs all these high stats is pure BS simply because the player is too lazy to think of a concept of the class or the role of the character. Are you playing a character with weakness and faults or are you playing a wanna be godling that is in mortal form. Since the 1st editon you have had one character that has had the high stat requirement the Paly, however AD&D required you to be only human or if the DM liked you a 1/2 elf. you also had the code of the paly which if you had a good DM he punked you every chance he got to keep the power character in line throught the use of ROLE playing. Using the standard array you can make any character great, all it takes is a little thought and a little understanding of the feats and skills. Like someone else posted Fighter = Str Cleric = Wis Wizard = Int Druid = Wis Bard = Chr Thief = Dex Paly depends if hes to be front line either STR or Con if hes to be clericish either chr or Wis Sorcerer = chr Barbarian = either str or Con [/QUOTE]
