So, you roll 6 18's.

[Arkhandus]

I would go with it.

It would be my one and only chance EVER to play a Monk who didn't blow chunks right from the get-go. My only chance to enjoy the class and not dwell on the indescribably massive and dark depths of my PC's monkish suckitude. "Multiple Ability Dependency" and all that, y'know. He'd probably be about as effective as the rest of the party, being a Monk and all, but at least with the 18s he wouldn't be dreadfully ineffective as Monks have always been in my 3E experience.

Though having all 18s would be uber-cool, I'd probably play a Dwarf or Halfling monk just for kicks, and for the sake of actually playing a truly butt-kicking short guy. If going Dwarf, he'd be the 'Ultimate Paragon of Honor and Serenity', a lawful good monk with some cool abstract name I haven't thought of yet. If going Halfling, he'd be the 'Ultimate Ninja of Questionable Honor and Deadly Fingers', a lawful evil monk with an equally strange and sinister but abstract name I haven't thought of yet, possessing strange ideas on honor and a philosophy somewhat like the Monks of the Long Death (IIRC, from the Forgotten Realms).

Straight 18's? It's time to break out the kobold paladin/monk!

Whatever I already felt like playing, ability scores aside. 6 18s (though this will literally *never* happen) wouldn't change a thing on this front, I'm quite certain. Why? That's the way I do things.

18 on 4d6, drop lowest = 21 in 1296
21 in 1296 ^ 6 = 85766121 / 4738381338321616896

Not quite never. Better than one in a trillion.

I'd play that PC.

And I'd take player votes on what we need for the party. If they said "We need a warrior" I'd play a warrior. If they said there was a gap in the cleric department, I'd fill it.

Of course...I'd have some fun with the PC design...

As for probabilities- the latest campaign I joined, the DM said "roll your stats, I don't care"- I rolled 18, 17, 17, 16, 15, 12. I pared them down to avoid the appearance of impropriety (since they were rolled at home).

To the GM- "is this gonna be okay with you? I mean you saw me do it, but will it screw up the campaign?"

GM- "I saw it, and it works for the campaign."

My typical question- "So what is everyone else playing?" If its a new game and its Core only. Cleric with War domain.

Pretty slim chances of it happening, and all the GMs I know who off the character or decline it in a heart beat.

Congratulations, you made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

The Dragon who ate him agreed.

No, we ran away from that dragon. Well, except the half-elf who thought he was tough stuff and was nearly killed by it.

Actually, we stopped that campaign he had a degenerative disease that was eating away at his Con and Str scores at a rate of 1 point per 2 days. Some poo-sewer monster thing gave it to him after he tried crushing it with a shack of Leomund's Tiny Hut or something.

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

As many have answered, I'd probably try out some totally ineffectual race/class combination.

Wouldn't the character have to take a Charisma hit of some sort anyway? I mean it's pretty near impossible not to have some hatred for someone THAT damned perfect!
