[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8679214, member: 50987"] The ALL-STAT ALL-STAR (or, "How To Build a Character with All 18 Stats") [LIST=1] [*]Put your best stat in Dexterity and your second-best in Wisdom; choose Human as your starting ancestry.

[*]Put your lowest stats (8, 10, and 12 if you're using Point Buy) in Strength, Intelligence, and Constitution. Trust me, you won't need them. [*]Choose Fighter.
