[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 2757082, member: 307"] From the description of the combat, she probably has a high Charisma - she heals "most of her damage" by laying on hands. The formula for laying on hands is paladin level x Charisma modifier. I'm guessing she is a 10th level paladin/2nd level monk (she made three smite evil attacks against Belkar, dealing "30 points of smite damage" to him). For her laying on hands ability to have much effect, she would have to have a Charisma bonus of +3 or +4. Her saves are also boosted by divine grace, and she seems to make all of her saving throws, so I'm thinking that is another indication of a high Charisma. From her description as having a high stunning fist DC, and a high AC, she probably has a high Wisdom. The formula for the stunning fist DC is 10 + 1/2 character level + Wisdom modifier. Given that she is about 12th level, that would mean her stunning fist DC would be 16 + Wisdom modifier. Even if Belkar has a poor Will save and a Wisdom penalty at 11th level or so, he might make a 16 (ignoring for the moment that stunning fist has a Fortitude save, and not, as Mr. Burlew asserted, a Will save). She also has a "high touch AC", part of which undoubtedly comes from her monk-based Widsom driven AC bonus. I'd peg her as having a +3 or +4 Wisdom bonus. She also noted that she had good tracking skills, at least partially because of her high ability score modifier, and Survival is a Wisdom based skill, which I'd consider another indication of a high Wisdom. Her Intelligence may not be as high as her Wisdom or Charisma, but she did discuss in the past that she could spend skill points on cross-class skills because of her Intelligence bonus being high enough to afford it. I'd say she has at least an Intelligence bonus (i.e. a score of at least 12), and probably higher. [i][/i] She would need two levels of ranger, and that would make her 14th level (she needs to be at least a 10th level paladin, to have three smite evil attacks per day; and a 2nd level monk, to have the evasion ability she displayed when fighting the ogres). I doubt if she has levels in ranger. Given that she has Improved Two-Weapon Fighting (thus getting five attacks per round), we also know that she has a Dexterity of at least 17. Indicating yet another really high score. Given that she uses a bastard sword one handed, we know she has Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword, which requires a Strength of at least 13. She is a two-weapon fighter who does not use weapon finesse, so I'm guessing her Strength score is comparable to her Dexterity score. If I had to guess, based on what we have seen in the strip, I'd say Miko's stats were, at a minimum: Str 16, Int 14, Wis 16, Dex 17, Con 14, Cha 16. I'm thinking a more likely array would be a few points higher on every stat. [/QUOTE]
