[QUOTE="Jefe Bergenstein, post: 6589863, member: 31506"] IIRC, there was actually a 16 int rolled, just no one used that array. The array that drew the most attention was (I think) 17 Str, 13 Con, 10 Dex, 11 Int, 11 Wisdom and an 18 charisma. One player used it to make a tiefling warlock, another used it to make a half-elf paladin (but requested to refluff as tiefling because he thought it would be fun to have the character deal w racial prejudices). So essentially they have the same stats and its always amusing when the warlock kicks in doors or decks someone because I occasionally forget she's as strong as an ox. My wife almost used it to make a bard, but decided to use another array with a 17 dex and played a rogue since she'd never played one before. She went with halfling as her race because she rolls terribly and that insurance against 1's is pretty awesome. The 15 con also shaped the character as being a tough little bugger. Now Virus Lou routinely eats things found in the gutter with little ill effect. The human cleric went with point buy, as the one good wisdom array had pretty bad charisma and a 5 strength! The point buy was insurance to allow anyone to play a concept they had walking into the character creation session. No one was jealous of anyone else's monster stats because they could have had the exact same ones. We blasted through character creation in an hour and finished a whole adventure (a converted Pathfinder module, the Hangman's Noose) in one day! [/QUOTE]
