RttToEE - Group 1's OOC.

[Scurry]

I'm cool with the reroll.

Jessern should be done in a bit - just gotta figure out where his cash is spent.

Maybe I'm just too accustomed to playing with point buy, but having my highest stats be 15 and 13 just doesn't bring me to new heights of inspiration.

Still, I'll wait and see if the rest of the party agrees to give a reroll.

well to be fair that is a 16 with 4th level stat bump. Not too shabby.

Were you the one that wanted to be the Grey Elf? That would be an 18 int and a 15 dex?

Anyway I will reserve my vote until I hear other opinions.

 

[TwistedMindInc]

Characters here have not been approved as of yet. That's my next step.

 

[TwistedMindInc]

And the grey elf is fine.

As I offered Dire Lemming and H4H - anyone that finds a picture to fit their character will recieve an additional 100xp to start the game with.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

I understand your frustrations... If asked to choose between, say, all 12s and all 8s and one 18, I'd go with the Idiot Savant than with Mr. Slightly Above Average.

As for a picture...

...Yeah, I'll keep looking.

I'm perfectly fine with a reroll. My first roll had an even lower average than Nac Mac Feegle. I was under the impression that we would follow the rules in the PH for mulligans (I hadn't seen any indications otherwise) so I rerolled. I think there is a good reason for making sure someone has at least one stat as high as 14. If I had been asked to play a character with no score higher than 13, I doubt I would have maintained my interest. I don't need mega stats to play a character and I don't mind having the occasional really low score to go with high ones. But a character with no ability score bonus higher than +1 can be really hard to play. The core rules assume you have at least one bonus of +2 or higher and that is the bare minimum. Most classes rely on at least one ability score being fairly high to be played effectively. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but it should be for a lower-powered game if you do. From what I've heard about the slug-fest that is RttToEE, low-powered it is not. Anyway, just my 2 cents on the matter.

Well, in that case I'll elaborate on why I think the roll is okay. Mostly it's that I'm in the group of people who doesn't think that high stats discourage roleplay - the flair and authenticity a player crafts into a character's actions is pretty much decoupled from stats. Not in the sense that roleplay doesn't reflect your stats, but in the sense that average stats don't make any better RP fodder than high ones.

So I see no harm in allowing a guy who got kinda shafted, compared to the rest of the party, to reroll stats. And you gotta admit, his stat spread is a little lame.

I'm perfectly fine with a reroll.

That's awful nice of you, since he is in the other group.

 

[airwalkrr]

Well, I didn't pay that close attention to who was in what group. But I see where he's coming from.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Is NMF in my group? If so, I'm fine with it. Hopefully he won't just get even lower stats, or godlike stats that make the rest of us pointless.
