[QUOTE="That One Guy, post: 4229428, member: 64672"] I too like it. I went and crunched the dragonborn pally and dwarf fighter from KotS (not that I think they're perfect, but whatever). Assuming the dwarf gets +2 con and wis, and the dborn gets +2 Str and Cha, I took those out first. assuming their lowest stats started at 8, they're both 26 point builds. Maybe to get to 10 only costs 1 instead of 2?*Which is what the OP suggested and I missed...* If so, they'd both be at a 25 point buy. I haven't tried to crunch the DDXPers, though, or any other KotS... and I wouldn't place my life on my math skills, but I did use a calculator to double-check myself. Edit:... the math holds for two more assuming *25* pt. [sblock] Half-elf cleric... Assuming +2 to Cha and Con Assuming Int gets the 8 13 c 4 12 c 3 11 c 1 *10 c 2* 16 c 9 14 c 6 *cost = 25* Halfling Rogue Assuming +2 to Dex and Cha Assuming Wis gets the 8 12 c 3 13 c 4 16 c 9 11 c 1 *10 c 2* 14 c 6 *cost = 25*[/sblock] Edit #2 DDXP seems to breakdown...[sblock]These guys and gals are all over the place. Anyone wanna' double check the math here? DDXP Halfling Paladin Assuming +2 to Dex and Cha Assuming Int gets the 8 14 c 6 12 c 3 10 c 0 9 c 1 16 c 9 14 c 6 cost = 25?
