[QUOTE="small pumpkin man, post: 4090914, member: 57910"] An NPC version has whatever AC you decide, remember, Raistlin had particularly low con, not low dex. He's still gullable, you can still bluff him, you just have trouble [i]magically[/i] stealing his mind (because of his forceful personality). (or, I guess, deceive him easily in combat, that one is a tad weird.) But you can certainly mess with his head normally. In fact this character is far more likely to come up, since it doesn't hurt you as much. Again, more likely to come up, all the new rules mean is that he's harder to grapple and push around. str doesn't affect hp. Again, more likely, very easy to do with a brawny rogue, I was thinking of making a character like this. You mean kinda like the example Cleric? (sure, he had 12 chr, but that isn't particularly high for a holy man) Doesn't really have anything to do with defenses. Yes, this one I will pay you. However it's been bandied around since we saw the rogue class. Hawkins in paralyzed, you don't have to be, well, Stephen Hawkings to figure out he doesn't get his stat to his AC. And of course Einstein would totally kick you butt. I really don't mean to threadcrap, I do see where the OP is coming from, but these most of the examples in this are really easy to do in current 4e, but actually quite hard in the system the OP proposes.
