[QUOTE="satori01, post: 3041634, member: 7859"] City Watch Stats: Warrior 2 Str 15 Dex 12 Con 16 Int 12 Wis 11 Cha 11 Commissars' Man (Elite Military) Fighter 3 Str 14 Dex 15 Con 16 Int 10 Wis 10 Cha 10 So a Ptolus City watch man is stronger, and hardier than the average, a little bit smarter as well, and pretty much average in everything else. Being a guard in a city where anyone can go around armed, monsters live under the city, and the biggest civil problems are rampant hordes of Undead in the Cemetary, and Chaos Cults everywhere is a tough job. I've seen players with City guard stats all the time, hell most of the time a 17 is mixed in there as well. To my knowledge as well I do not think Monte uses point buy, I think he uses the 4d6 method for player creation, which will yield more powerful and rounded scores, than point buy, which generally seems to yield really high primary ability scores and 8's in anything not essential.
