So does anyone know what would be some good starting abilities? CHA could be a dump stat but I would rather not have any stats below 10. Also I plan to play a Elf or an half elf
JulesCARV 01-12-07, 04:36 PM	Good starting abilities? How 'bout this: Strength: 18 Dexterity: 20 Constitution: 16 Intelligence: 18 Wisdom: 18 Charisma: 18 That's assuming you're an elf. If you're a half-elf, you'd use the following array: Strength: 18 Dexterity: 18 Constitution: 18 Intelligence: 18 Wisdom: 18 Charisma: 18 No, seriously, it depends: how are you generating your ability scores? Point buy? Rolling? A pre-determined array? Also, if you're focused on the crunch aspects of your character, character optimization (http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21) may prove more useful.
grok_grok 01-12-07, 11:08 PM	Sorry should have said ill be using a 32 point buy in
JulesCARV 01-13-07, 04:10 AM	Okay: Strength: 12 Dexterity: 15 Constitution: 14 Intelligence: 16 Wisdom: 10 Charisma: 10 Good enough?
Adolph_Kheebler 01-13-07, 07:31 PM	You're nuts. A swashbuckler dervish should be something like this: STR 10 DEX 20 CON 12 INT 12 WIS 10 CHA 10 That's for an elf which I would recommend. I would also reduce wisdom or charisma to boost int, but that is up to you. You want your dex as high as possible.
