Only 66 points? That's a VERY low role.
My highest role was 93 and with that I got Strength 18/76 Con 18 Dex 18 - very important for AC bonus! (esp. for Kensai!!!) Int 15 Wis 15 Char 9 LongSword *** (Good choice) Two Weapon *** (Good choice) I definately would NOT settle for 66 points in total - I wouldn't settle for anything less than something in the 80's.... |

Your rolls are pretty shoddy. Take 10 minutes and roll up something decent.
Remember STR DEX and CON are important for a warrior class. You'll find something for charisma early in the game, plus there are multiple ways for improving STR later on as well. So, I'd say DEX, CON, STR in that order should be your highest scores. INT WIS and CHR can be around 10 or so. ------------------ Tehmpus Thales the permanently InSaNe |

INT and WIS are provide some limited defence to mind spells like stun (and you don't want too low an intelligence rating because that matters with one particular class of enemy (NO SPOILERS PLEASE - THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A NEW PLAYER!)

But i thought if you had a low level Charisma and wisdom for a fighter it didnt matter, cause they dont have to learn mage spells, and you can always get charisma boosting items

Low WIS, INT and CHA is fine for a fighter. Besides, the Priest Spell, Chaotic Commands, will handle those creatures, and there are plenty of INT boosting potions.
So I say 10 each. |

Ya did fine.
While my respected colleagues are correct and you would do better with higher stats, you should still come out okay with what you have. Really when it comes down to it, you can play with a character with 3's in all their attributes becuase 1) there are a ton of stat boosters out there and 2) it's a game where you learn to make up for deficencies. It will be Easier if they were all 18's too... Much easier, but you don't need to. I think you will have a very playable character with what you have, though I'd make sure that when you find a Cha booster, you give it to your character to help with prices and reactions.

Actually I'm not sure if wisdom does anything more in the game than provide priest spells for clerics and druids, and affect a few minor dialouges. It sure as hell doesnt lower your vulnerability to magic or improve your saving throws as it probably should.
And how many people have used a kensai as their very first character I wonder.. I know I have.. Try to go for a 18/00 or 18/90+ in strength and 18 in dex, 16-17 in con. The rest is up to you to roleplay as you like (smart fighter, dumb fighter, ugly fighter..) ------------------ No-Name Face |
