What do you all think is the threshhold for a reasonable total number of attribute points? I'm one of those folks who isn't willing to sit there all afternoon rolling dice until I get a roll I'm satisfied with. I do adjust the atribute score with Gatekeeper but I try to keep them realistic. I figure a 92 (four 18's and 2 10's) for Bhaalspawn isn't outrageously high (he or she is semi-divine after all). But I guess for player characters other than the main character it should probably be a bit lower in order to be realistic. Your thoughts?
I try to get as close to all 18s as I can--but I usually have to sacrifice on wisdom and intelligence to do it in an unaided roll. Of course, I usually play a ranger or fighter/ fighter combo, so they need all the str, const and dex they can get!
Surely I must be one of the luckier rollers here as I do not have to roll for hours to get decent stats! (uh-oh, have I just jinxed myself? [img]smile.gif[/img] ) Typically I roll for about 10-20 minutes and get pretty good numbers. I boost the str as high as possible, const needs to be maxed as well, char should be at least 17, the rest depends on who's doing the fighting and how. ::shrugs:: works for me.
All else fails....the Holy Gatekeeper may be summoned
(but he's usually invoked by the NPCs, not me
) (Immy, for example, usually has her str augmented to 11 or 13.)
