Race with +2 to CHR

[frankthedm]

the odd penalty is not that painful. It is worth it for a sorcerer or bard without question. Paladins can make up for it with those divine feats and actually having some spare skill points. Clerics definitly have buffs to make up for it.

RPGA does not allow it unfortunatly

It might be better to start at middle aged for the +1/-1, or better yet, simply settle for putting a good score in the prime requisite ability.

Man, that chart is irritating. For the love of all that is Good and Holy, it considers me middle-aged! Puhlease!

Assuming that you are talking about the -3 to all physical stats then you are saying that for a low hd class having a -3 penalty to str, dex, and con is definately worth it?

When they run out of spells they will have fewer viable options (less damage), they will be hit easier (less AC from dex, they have a lower initiative, worse reflex save, etc), and lower hp (either -1 or -2 from each hd vs someone who didnt take the age penalty).

Trading all of that for a +2 to each of your mental stats seems like a pretty rough trade to me

Big difference between PL3 and early PL6.

Huh?

For a +1LA I got +4Cha (and other niceties) from deathtouched. It's from Dragon 313.

d20 Future terminology. PL = Progress Level. He is comparing Medieval with present day (broadly).

Also, d20 Modern only has a +1/-1 at each age category (penalties don't get progressively worse).

I don't know if I'd rather play a Jesus Elf or a White Dwarf Elf. I'll probably stick with humans.
