Need Help on Epic character concept, please [merged]

I can't say whether point buy is good or not until we see what else is offered and how much the point buy is.

And how lucky you are with dice. Me, I prefer rolling a character but that's just because I can't even remember when I last rolled a character with anything under 12. That said, if I had somebody elses luck, I'd probaply prefer PB.

32 points versus...what? 3d6? 4d6? 6d6? I mean 32 is decent but in high level campaigns that's hardly going to cut it that much. Unless you get a GREAT deal of racial bonus to stats.

Blacky,

I think you mean PB, not BP.

But yes it does depend on how lucky you are with dice. My friend in RL has HORRIBLE luck with dice rolling, especially for stats.

btw i cant thank you guys enough for all the help you've given me tonite.

 

[Nightfall]

Eh I'm glad. It probably earned me a reprieve from any further problems I may encounter down the road.

Dude,

I would but again this is something your DM should handle. He might feel otherwise about you having 60-64 points to spend on a character.

honestly with the d6 i have no idea. with 32 points on a 12th level character is there no way to guess what the d6 on that one was?? cuz im willing to bet he'll do the same thing again

Fair enough Dude,

Since there's precedent, I'd go with point buy in this case.

Blackrat's article is really useful to read, if you haven't already. It'll help you out regarding where to put your ability scores.

Personally, I'd go for Dexterity, Wisdom, then Intelligence (skill points) in that order. Constitution is important for HP, of course. Strength is as important as you want it to be. Good to have but is really a luxury to have high if your Point Buy allows enough to boost it. Charisma is your least important attribute, unless you have ambition to be a "face" character.

Note, Intelligence moves down the list if skills aren't very important to the campaign.

What do you mean NF? There's Nothing Wrong In Me Post. There never was. Not even before I edited it.

Sound,

Also factor in the fact Ninjas gets a good bit of skill points. Not same as rogues 8+Int but still 6 isn't that much to sneeze at either.

Right...my mind was playing tricks on me again. My bad Blacky.

he's gone by point buy on the first two campaigns i did with him. but pretty open and said i could do just about anything but psionics cuz in our last campaign i had a 16th level psion with a prestige in elocater and lets just say i broke his story. badly. so no psionics. but other than that he said go nuts. would a point buy be better or the other way around??

And how could you break anything without using this?
I am sorry but the new kids need to know about these things. Better it comes from us.
