Under the Player's Handbook rules I'm allowed to reroll those crummy stats. But the DM made me play them... So like a total tool I decided to play an elf. My thinking was that there was no way to get my Con to not penalize my hit points anyway, so I might as well get that +2 to Dex since I'm gonna be a sniveling coward about melee anyway. Ranger/rogue archer specialist is the route I went.I actually survived up until 4th level. That character bit it when our bard decided she was going to loot a forsaken shrine with palpable darkness over it that the cleric and paladin wanted to leave alone. The shadows bound to that shrine only had to hit me twice to reduce my Strength to 0 and hence kill me. Our paladin and our cleric also died in that horrible battle- only that jerk's bard and the wizard (who was being played by the DM's nephew) survived.My next set of rolls were pretty good in consolation:Str: 17Int: 11Wis: 13Dex: 15Con: 17Cha: 12So I played a barbarian with a greatsword modeled on a Scottish Highlander. That bard's player and me had bad blood though, not only because she got three out of five party members killed, but also because ske kept trying to dominate the group (as I suspect she did with all other interpersonal relationships in her life). She even bitched to the DM that I wasn't "playing my character right" because my barbarian didn't instantly become smitten with such a high Charisma female and start following her without question. My retort was that Charisma represents strength of personality, not physical attractiveness, andwe have a five-letter word in the English language for women with strong personalities... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
