I believe that rolling high scores is easier with some classes (like the Paladin) as they have their minimums set rather high in different abilities so they won't drop beyond 13 (or even 17 for charisma).
As for my Stalker I have made up a nice story for her Biography as a Trollkiller (called her Shahun Trollbane) not compatible with the BG-plot (Gorion etc.) of course as she was a multi-player char.

The daughter of a human mother and her unknown elven lover she supposedly encountered on a romantic walk through the woods was abandoned in the woods by her mother at an arly age when the origin of the child could not be longer kept secret.
When apprehended by a troll who smelled a decent meal Shahun immediately hid and managed to knock out the troll with a rock making use of the surprise element. However when the small child saw the horrendous abomination of nature lying there in its non-dead state she got sick. This not very surprising reaction saved her life as the acid from her puke effectively killed the Troll she was vomiting on. That was too much for the infant who passed out and was found like this by the Ranger of the forest. As the mother could not (and obviously did not want to) be found he raised her to become a champion among those who walk in the forests. Inspired by the story that led to her rescue Shahun quickly became the nightmare of every Troll in the Realm.
After driving the last troll from the forest she grew up in she finally left her foster father at the age of 17 to seek out adventure and bring down even more of the monsters other adventurers tend to avoid.


I now think of adding an innate ability (Shadowkeeper) like burning Hands or the like to make her able to kill Trolls at any time (even if no weapon is available). What would you suggest? Is it possible to add sorcerer-like wizard spells to a Stalker with Shadowkeeper if I don't manage to do it with the innate?
That's a nice story for your stalker Faceman! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I don't use any mods or shadowkeeper so I'm not an expert but I'm sure it would be possible to add a special ability to your stalker to cast burning hands. I'm not sure if shadowkeeper would do it you may need another program. But I'm sure someone with more savvy in this area could help you add this ability to your stalker, anyone?
