[QUOTE="Sodalis, post: 101140, member: 1791"] I dont think pt buy hurts monks and paladins at all... with 28 pt buy, you can have: 14, 14, 14, 12, 12, 10 with 32 pt buy, you get 15,15,14,12,12,10 or 16,14,14,12,12,10 of which, you can put the highest on dex, wis, and con. that would make agreat monk. and at lvl 4,8, you can bump the 15s up to 16s, or in the second case bump the 14 to a 16... Having three good stats and two decent ones and a fair one. I dont think that would hurt anyone... and if you choose your race carefully, you get racial bonus which can help out a lot also. And then there is magic items. sionce a monk does not have to buy weapons, they can buy a lot of magic items, bracers, amulets, belts... edit: at low levels, since you dont have to buy weapons, you can buy potions of bull str and cats grace. That should give you playable stats... [/QUOTE]
