I decided to start a new char today (A NG Cleric of Lathander).
So got to work, had some increible idea on how to make that char. And started rolling away through the night.
Now, friends. Listen carefully. I ended up with this: (Wasn't cheating, either.)

str 14
Dex 18
Con 16
Int 14
Wis 18
Cha 18

Near munchkin, isn't it?

So named her Llenora (Half-Elven), and...

40 Hit Points. (Lvl 7, and out of possible max of 70...)

This pissed me off of course, and I downloaded SHadowkeeper at once. The base hp was 28...As you may already know, it was counting WITHOUT Con Bonus you see...

Ended up deleting that char. [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]

My friend rolled 95 yesterday. He said that was his character`s desteniy to have such a roll. After one minute of rolling that is. Desteny becuase it will be no reload game.

We had a topic about high rolls some months ago. Can't find it tough (hey it rhymes )
Ended up concluding that there are some classes where high rolls are easier to achieve as they have monay stats on a high minimum (paladins for example).

Ya all know I rolled that point. It took me 1 hour. I didn't see that coming, either.

But then I didn't set difficulty to normal or easy. Then it gives me p**s-poor HP.

p.s. Does "p**s" count as offensive language?

It is not exactly offensive, but it is still better to avoid it .

Why would anyone roll for an hour to get a high roll? If you want specific stats, you can make them so with ShadowKeeper. In a minute. And the result is the same.

yep - i've decided that if i'm rolling powergamish dual or multi characters i'll keep going until i get 92 for the fighting attributes plus INT or WIS with 10s for the last two - shadowkeepers the way to do that for sure
