[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 313807, member: 743"] "Only 32 point buy?" I hope that was sarcasm. 32 points is quite high by the DMG standards, which consider 28 to be high powered (I think). Besides, who says they're stuck? They could always just let Acererak become one with the negative plane and capable of transferring his essence to any undead anywhere. Heck, he might not even start his rampaging with the prime material. ;) At the higher levels it hasn't really shown itself as much, but when the party was young, those stats were incredible. With 32 point buy you can easily get: [list] [*]10,12,12,12,12,17 (can easily bump to 18 at 4th level) [*]10,10,12,12,12,18 (start with an 18, but don't get a true increase until 8th, after a stat has gotten two bump) [*]8,10,10,15,16,16 (you can be a good monk without having to get lucky and roll a lot of great stats) [/list] All-in-all I'd have to say I would welcome a chance to play in a 32 point game. In any case, I much prefer pont buy to rolling, as I've got a better chance of being able to make any character I can envision. Mr. Binx, The only reason the other character sheets are so colorful is because I cheated. :) PCGen comes with all sorts of nice templates that you can export to. [/QUOTE]
