Another Stat Question

Galadria · 11-16-2001, 02:02 PM

So, if I'm following you all, it would be a LOT better to start as a plain fighter with a STR-17, DEX-16, CON-13,INT-8,WIS-8,CHA-8, then, if I'm following the formula right, and assuming 28 points to start, as a Paladin, since so many of your points would be spent on a CHA of at least 17(13 points, right?)because that would allow only a STR of 16, a DEX of 10 and a CON of 11- i.e., a pretty poor fighter. Mage would be easier, with an INT-17(to start, to be moved to 18 at Level 4)WIS-16, CON-13, the rest base.Is this right? Comments, please.

If it is true 3:ed as they say, you don´t need 17 for charisma, you need 10+ level of spell to be able to cast the spells, however you gain a tremendous lot of having a high charisma as a Paladin, + to saving throws, smit ability is dependent on charisma modifier. The four most important ones are genrally dex dexterity gives better initiative, reflex saving throw, distance weapon to hit modifier. Constitution. Hitpoint, fortitude save, hitpoints hitpoints!

Wisdom, saving throw related and mostly for clerics, but against thoose mind spells, every fighter class better get a good wisdom or they are a walking timebomb!!

Strength. Melee fighting extraordinar ability, in this game granted as one of the most valid one for any fighte class. To hit, to carry, to damage. Very important for fighters since they are going to run around in a tincan suit smashing opponents..

Charisma for the Paladin is well, very good however since that score is used to smite and the grace-bonus saving throws.

Don´t go below 10 in any abilities if you can afford it! Under ten and there is a penalty! Also, read the manual before you o so you can plan your character ahead, to get an extra notch for when you receive your ability point, (1 point/4 levels).

Thanks, he has been with me for along time, since the blue/black board. Only changed to another one, but changed back quickly [img]smile.gif[/img] Kinda likes him! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, you have any more questions regarding 3:ed (which NWN states it should support to 100%) ((close enough)) hehe, feel free to ask and I will try to answer it! [img]smile.gif[/img]
