[QUOTE="Z. H. Darkstar, post: 6839536, member: 6746780"] Stats like these are why I prefer AL play over home games. I would much rather trade away the possibility of starting with an 18 to being able to point buy my stats and having no starting stats below 8 allowed. However, since these are the stats that you've decided to work with, I'd strongly reconsider your stance on Druids. A Moon Druid/Monk build would mitigate your pisspoor Con score by relying on your Wild Shape for HP and allow your good Dex/Wis scores to factor into AC of both your humanoid and animal forms. Also, how do you plan on casting any spells with a V component if you're mute? That drastically reduces the amount of spells that you can cast. I'm okay with people playing suboptimal builds for added character flavor, but shooting yourself in the foot for the purpose of flavor is unacceptable. Instead of going for the mute angle, spin your communication skills as being like the character [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nell_%28film%29"]Nell[/URL]. Your character has a language all of its own, which would function similarly to your current concept without removing your ability to cast most of your spells. Another class route that you could consider going is Beastmaster Ranger, with your combat skills going towards archery and your pet assisting you in scouting. As for race, go VHuman to boost your Dex/Wis up to 16s. Take Sharpshooter if going Ranger, otherwise go for Toughness. [/QUOTE]
