[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7735944, member: 6803664"] Depends upon your age/experience & the character you envision. Oh I disagree 100%+. If feats are allowed, then each time you're eligible you should make the choice that will best represent your [I]character[/I] & how you see them developing. [I]Character[/I] =/= class. So sometimes that'll be an ASI. Other times it might be a feat. And if it's an ASI? That doesn't mean it'll go into whatever your classes primary stat is. For ex: My 1/2ling Warlock Bree. Her Charisma is not maxed out. This has not proven a problem. *At 4th lv I took Magic Initiate to represent her patron teaching her some additional tricks . Tricks not found on the warlock spell list but that both help her & further the patrons goals. The next time she lvs up will be to 8th. *By your logic I should raise my Cha. And should've raised it at 4th. This however would be the least effective & least interesting thing I could do. *In her two years of adventuring she's learned a good deal. Not really on the intelligence side, more on the wisdom side. Very much like a child learning not to touch hot stoves, etc. No, wait, it's [I]exactly[/I] like that. She's becoming wiser. Not doing (as many) foolish things. Thinking more before acting. Realizing her actions have consequences. *She's also proven surprisingly adept at Medicine checks to stabilize people. Plenty of natural 20s. You need a combat medic, apparently you want Bree.... Play seems to suggest the Healer feat. At 8th lv she's going to get one of these: +2 Wis [B]OR[/B] the Healer feat. She'll get the other at 12th - unless 4 more lvs of play reveal/require something else of her.... So the question is; do I feel she's learned enough to warrant that wisdom bump at 8th? Atm I'm thinking no, not yet. Bleh. Forced Array + no racial mods? Could I just roll the dice instead? Or replace some of those scores with lower #s if I thought that'd better represent my character? Because I don't suffer stat envy, & I really don't want to be a clone. [/QUOTE]
