[QUOTE="jkason, post: 4036656, member: 2710"] Is it possible, given the circustances, that Rystil would allow you to swap around some of your scores? Flipping DEX and STR gives a better melee attack and damage on its own, but if you want a Duskblade with higher STR and CON, it strikes me that if you move your 17 from DEX to CON (dropping it to 15 for the racial penalty), flip the 14 to STR (since it no longer takes a racial penalty), then plop your 13 into DEX, you have a more workable stat block for the class you're looking at. 14 STR, 15 CON, 13 DEX (+2, +2, and +1 bonuses, respectively). You aren't entirely re-statting the character because you're using the values you already chose, but wind up with mechanics you can maybe work with more? As far as background, I'm afraid I've lost the thread where you really detailed that (back when we were pitching characters, I believe), but I seem to recall Sul was running away to be more resilient and self-reliant? That still all works, and you wouldn't necessarily have to change her characterization a lot; she's just more physically aggressive in this permutation, yes? ;) jason [/QUOTE]
