[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 3747224, member: 1213"] A few things here: 1. Make your ability scores even. You get 6 points back that way. 2. Do you really want scores so universally high? 3. You cannot buy toughness directly. You need to buy it indirectly, by buying the Protection or Forcefield powers or the Defensive Roll or Tough feats. 4. You probably do not want to buy all your attack and defense directly. it is too exensive and probably not appropriate for your char. This is esp true for attack. To have 10 attack for everything means yo are a really, really, skilled fighter. Most characters buy attack a number of ways to be better at some things than others. Base attack costs 2pp/+1, and adds to everything. The feat Attack Focus (melee or ranged) costs 1pp/+1 and only works on melee or range. The feat Attack Specialization costs 1pp/+2 and only works on a single attack or array. You will probably want at least some of your attack be AS on the magic array. For the rest, it depends on what your other combat skills are. Regarding defense, when you buy it for 2pp/+1, you lose half when denied your dex bonus (esp when stunned). Most, however, buy some of it as ranks of the Dodge Focus feat, which costs 1pp/+1, but you lose it all when stunned/denied your dex. For abilities, how about some Quickness limited to the Investigate skill for 1pp/3ranks, so you can pick up on / analyze clues really fast. [/QUOTE]
