Actually, when he said, "rollin, rollin, rollin," I had the theme from Rawhide.

And Paladins, Rangers, and Multiclasses are actually the easiest to roll for (except Fighter/Druids, for some reason).

Easiest?? When it comes to Paladins, you cannot leech a lot from the CHA or WIS scores due to their high minimums... ...

Therefore... the ideal optimal minimum is,

STR: 18/~~
DEX: 18
CON: 18
WIS: 13
INT: 8
CHA: 17

This is an insane total of 92 points... beaten only by the Fighter/Druid who will also want 18 WIS and have a minimum of 15 CHA.

I'm with Dundee... Any class that has high minimums in more than one stat, like paladins, druids, fighter/druids, bards, or rangers... is tricky, because there is little or no flexibility to customize your stats.

True--but it's the very fact that those classes have so many stat minimums that makes them easier to roll--the die rolls are forced upwards, ensuring a high total every time.

Check the lists of top stat rolls. Compare the # of times you see a Paladin or a Ranger/Cleric with the # of times you see a single-classed Human Thief.

I am talking about rolling optimal <u>minimums</u>. If you talk about getting averages of 90, then yes, the Paladin has a higher chance to get it than a say, Kensai. However, I can easily make an elite and powerful Kensai within 4 rolls, but I will need to roll far longer to make a usuable Paladin. Getting a high roll in CHA all the time means nothing if I cannot leech from it to help boost my STR/DEX/CON. Add the fact that I can barely leech from my WIS, and the problem is compounded.
