Strong Half Orc Barbarian he is. His stats

Strength: 21
Constitution:16
Dexterity:14
Intellgence:10
Wisdom:9
Charisma:5

When I level up I can choose the stats to raise by one point which should I pick it's a pretty hard choice.

At this point, I say raise his Strength on all ability score level ups. I don't believe in raising Constitution, under the assumption that HP bonuses from it only add to HP after it is raised (not retroactive from level one -- If that's wrong, please let me know). Also, your Dex works well with the kind of armor a Barbarian can wear if I remember correctly. Therefore, higher Dex wouldn't do much good. Finally, I think you can mitigate saving throw weaknesses driven by your low wisdom and intelligence through feats rather than raising those stats.

For IWDII, I think it's all about making your character an absolute machine in the stats that are important to them and not worrying much about the other stats.

Sythe...Your signature pick was/is too large. Please edit the picture to the allowed size as indicated in the TOS

Constitution bonuses ARE retroactive. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I would recommend adding a point in wisdom to get rid of the -1 will saves and dump the rest into con.
