I don't always get what I want, but I do always get something fun.  My last character, I was thinking about a swashbuckler/bladesinger but I didn't get the stats to make him so I went with a tiefling wizard.Despite having probably the worst stats in the party--they aren't bad, just not as good as the others--my wizard, through a combinaton of no guts no glory, effective use of scribe scroll, and imagination has saved the party from TPK's seven times! anyone who says that rolling low stats cripples their character isn't doing something right. Any character with a few positive bonuses can be effective.More importantly, rolling dice inspires me.</blockquote>
