[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 9019809, member: 6855204"] Low stats aren’t the bad thing people tend to think they are. Use them to develop the character. Why is your Int and Cha so low? Did you spend most of your time away from civilization? A low int just means you don’t know things, it doesn’t mean you’re stupid. Maybe you have a horrible burn scar that drops your Cha? I didn’t wind up with any stats over an 11, and only one over 10, so I’m taking a Headband of Intellect so I can be good at SOMETHING, and I’m tying it to the character intrinsically so I can be interested in it. But you don’t have to do the same thing. With a 16 in Dex, you can be a number of good classes. Instead of using the boon to shore up a weakness, maybe use it to boost your strengths? A weapon or an item that you can tie to your character’s backstory. Heck, a Ring of Warmth might save your life in this setting. You could have one for free! Or Boots of Elvenkind to boost your stealth. Lots of things open up. [/QUOTE]
