What would you do with these stats?

[diaglo]

Str: 13
Int: 16
Wis: 12
Con: 17
Dex: 16
Cha: 3

breaking them down for the nonbelievers...

str 13 +1 to hit; +100 gpwgt allow; 1-2 open door
int 16 6 languages
wis 12 avg
con 17 +2hp
dex 16 +1 missile, surprise react; +2 AC bonus
cha 3 -2 reaction; 1 henchman

Bah! Has nothing to do with whether people remember the character or not. A 3 Cha represents some serious social dysfunction. It may be but doesn't have to be being easily forgotten. Being remembered in detest far worse than being forgotten. Being forgotten can actually be beneficial. If they remember you, it's much worse the second time around.

That said, I'd say go with the dwarven fighter. Boost Str at the expense of Wis and Int. Make him brutal in combat, but petrified of social situations and unable to express himself. Furthermore, he lacks his own motivation so he latches onto a strong individual--preferably somebody he's got something in common with--in an unhealthy way.

I'm thinking...Dwarven Paladin.

The Paladin will be pleased at first at finding so compliant a follower. But when the Paladin's not around--or the fighter thinks so--he doesn't have the conviction to follow the straight path. I'm sure it will absolutely torment the Paladin.

And you can't get any truer to OD&D than that!

Since I do not know OutdatedD&D , except for the little bits and pieces diaglo offers every now and then...

I'd follow the great advice in - what was it again? - Hero Builder's Guidebook, I think, and use a race with a -2 to one stat and put the 3 there.

Or just make a druid with a Str of 3 who really enjoys to run around wild-shaped.


Oh... oops! Just noticed they are fixed already.

There is only one thing then... reroll!
I wouldn't want to play a totally socially inept character.

Or play a Pixie Rogue.

No?

You've been doing a pretty good job of it around here...
