[QUOTE="Ashkelon, post: 7134874, member: 6774887"] All it takes to make your sorcerer interesting is a +2 bonus to wisdom checks? That translates to what, 10% more success? That seems hardly noticeable. In fact it will rarely make a difference at the table. I feel like you would have been better served by using point by and getting a free skill or racial feat. That way you can have your high charisma sorcererer who takes the feat that grants expertise in Insight and allows for searching as a bonus action. That gives you your increased bonus to Insight (more than you would get by merely having a high wisdom) and throws in an extra benefit on top that is even more relevant to being able to read people. All in all, anything you feel rolling will help with in terms of role play can probably be achieved better by using point buy and giving players a free racial or skill feat at level 1. Also, notice how rolled PCs always seem to have multiple 18+ numbers. I guess players like to cheat. Or suicide their characters if they roll poorly until they get a good roll. That hardly seems like good role play... [/QUOTE]
