I don't know Lilarcor, I've been known to role 1's on occasion, cursed luck of mine is what it is [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well according to my DM, you know how it works, you roll 4d6 and take the top 3 to get your ability score. you do this 7 times, taking the 6 highest scores. If the average of the scores is 13 or lower, you roll again. The first I rolled, my average was about 10, then the second time i got those scores (modified with elven traits). But you should know, the 18 for int had a 1, sure it had 3 sixes... but just because their high, doesn't mean I didn't roll some ones.

I recomend being a Necromancer [img]tongue.gif[/img] but mages are ok...

*points out how cool skin scribes are*

Well Lilarcor, the way my character work is different from other with their ability scores anyway. My uncle has a nice artifact called The Machine of Lum the Mad and it raises all of my characters abilities to 18 no matter the level. Then of course, I just add my remaining points and I'm done

Ps- It may seem like a corny thing to do, just don't call it cheating or cheesy! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

interesting...
a character with those stats would be impossible to make in nwn since you have 30 points to distribute and the higher your ability score the more points it costs.

Im curious, i thought nwn ran under the 3rd edition if this is so why is the stats from startup capped so low at 30 points to be distributed?

Stre - 10 -- Base 8 -- 2 points
Dex - 17 -- Base 10 -- 8 points
Con - 15 -- Base 6 -- 13 points
Wis - 17 -- Base 8 -- 13 points
int - 17 -- Base 8 -- 13 points
Cha - 10 -- Base 8 -- 2 points
So, as you can see it cost 51 points tomake this character which you say follows 3rd rules; which even taking into consideration if he were level 20 and got the 5 points from leveling he still has well over the startup points possible.

Anyone know how to hack the startup creation for nwn to make it actually run by the real 3rd rules if you really do roll a 4d6?

But annyhow enough of that tangent...id say make an illusionist or a necromancer! love scaring people to death *evil laughter*

Void Mages are pretty awesome too!

Hmmm I thought dice were out when creating a character..thought you started with base stats for the race and sex and then added a certain number of points to those. (IE Pool of Radience 2 and other 3ed CRPG's.) I don't play P&P any more... only CRPG's.

Eh, I got into PoR awhile back but it just got so boring. It has interactions, but not on a scale like the BG series has.

I'm just a normal 1st level elven mage. Points? I have no clue what you are talking about. If its a CRPG then I'd more or less understand, but I'm talking about P&P and I don't see how points would be applied.

As for the spells I have memorized, my 1st level spell is shield and I can't remember my 0-level spells that are memorized.

Don't worry about it Lilarcor, you're not a high enough level to get them yet. The points we're talking about are ability points you gain every 5 level I think. So, after every 5 levels, you get another point you can add on to any of your abilities and at 10th, 15th, 20th and so forth.
