Perfect stats

Remove all ads!

What do you think the perfect starting stats would be for each class? (including kits) For me it would be a fighter with
Strength:18
Constitution:18
Dexterity:18
Intelligence:4
Wisdom:3
Charisma:18
hehe. my character has the I.Q. of the president of the United States. hehehe.

 

Well 'perfect' stats would be 25, 25, 25, 25 etc but I see what your getting at.

For a powergamer just max out your primary attribute then DEX, and CON
You can get the ring of human influence to solve your CHA problems

 

I must disagree, LOTS! that ring requries a whole ring slot that could be used better. 18 cha, weee... now how often is it I use that stat?

 

The stats to cheese depends on your char.

My fighters have str-18/ dex-18/ con-18 and wis-18 and the rest as high as possible, at least above 6.

And the perfect stats are all-25 ? You must be stupid ! Who the hell needs that ?! All-25 is just a lot of stupid stat waste

 

I said starting stats. not item added stats.

 

I would change the Charisma with Wisdom. Gives you better mindsaves.

Rambling: Anyway which president? Nixon? "I am not a crook" even though he was. Naah. No american president had or has less than mundane intelligence. Why you would ask? Because that would mean that the american people voted for stupid men. Hence made a stupid vote. Or indeed were stupid. And they are not stupid are they? Not in my book.

Yeah, you really need to get that wisdom up. 79 Isn't a very good roll :/

PS. Bush is a damn good President!

 

Now, my sorcerer's stats be str-9, con-16, dex-18, int-18, wis-18, cha-9, I think it's perfect.

 

Now my Necromancer has these stats, mind you I havent cheated, edited or used any tomes, these are lucky rolls (after 15 mins of rerolling, and this is the first time I got these awesome stats)and not using stat enhancing items.

Str 15
Dex 18
Con 18
Int 18
Wis 18
Cha 8

Besides there are no rules saying the main character must be party leader, why I have a low Cha.

By the way forgot to mention, that the stats are this high because of requirements of the Necromancer, I tried it with the Stalker (Ranger Kit) to see his, I got 18 in 5 stats that way. And no am not a powergamer, got my ass whooped seriously by 2 Giant Trolls.

Sorcerers DON'T need intelligence! Affects nothing for them, try it. My stats for a sorcerer would be:

18
18
18
minimum
minimum
18

If I got a good role I would jack up the wisdom, but it's not nesesary.

 

Isn´t rerolling for 15 minutes sort of cheating ?

 

Asmodeus you play real life ??, then you kinda warm up the dices first, when you're making a new character

Besides why else would they implement a reroll button ???

True, but as a DM I'll tell the player that the roll counts _before_ they roll, not after
(though OTOH, I'm often lenient if they roll particularly poorly)

 

Do you kill your players' characters that often?

Anyway. I agree Lord Sarevok, as long as the sorcerer can use scroll and wands I am happy. it takes 9 int. to cast scrolls.

 

Hi,

If you want your Sorcerer to cast limited wish and wish (very useful spells )then get the wisdom and int up, at the expense of strength and charisma if required. There are plenty of strength increasing things in the game and unles you are soloing the best place for your sorcerer is at the back casting spells and not hitting anything! get someone with high charisma to lead the party or use an item that is available early on.

I use limited wish a lot in SOA and wish a lot in TOB, very useful spells IMHO.

Also, as mentioned the wisdom also comes in handy against mindspells, improves saves, I think - don't want your main mage crippled.

My sorceror has the following stats:

str 10 (had to be better than Imoen )
dex 18
con 16
int 18
wis 18
cha 10 rolled 90, 10 minutes rolling

I don't regard rerolling as cheating. When I DM I allow the player to choose a couple of different roll plans, either 4D6 six times or 3D6 12 times and generate a character that way, otherwise the player ends up with a substandard character who dies pretty quickly.

In this game, I am meant to be a child of bhaal and potentially the most important one, hence I should have better than average stats .

However, its entirely up to the player. I paid for the game, and in single palyer mode I am judge and jury

Likewise, some folks may feel you should only roll once, tahts fine too

Cheers,

In TDD i have a Female Half-Elf Minstrel with 22 Charisma

 

Here's my "perfect" stats for my Cavalier, Launcelot:

Str: 18/91
Dex: 17
Con: 16
Int: 12
Wis: 16
Cha: 18

This is before sacrificing stats, of course. After sacrificing, it'll be:

Str: 18/91
Dex: 16
Con: 16
Int: 11
Wis: 16
Cha: 19 (he's equipped with the Helm of Glory )

Above is just about close to perfect stats for a Paladin. I figure these high stats are justified because 1.He's a child of a god and 2.He's the original Lancelot reincarnated (I wrote my *own* biography), so *of course* he'd have really outstanding stats.

Yikes. My stats for Nago, my Elven Fighter/Mage are as follows:

18/95
19
17
18
3
18

Didn't use SK or anything, I was just lucky. I'm taking him through BG1 right now, if you wanna read more go to the "My New Character" post.

Yup, that's what I said when I finished creating that character. Completely unaided by Shadowkeeper, only rerolling for five minutes, and with a total of 98 points, I thought to myself "I shouldn't be this lucky!" Then I made a copy of the file in some obscure folder in my computer so it won't get erased when I uninstall the game, then saved another copy on a floppy disc so it won't get erased off the computer by accident. No way I'm losing this character!

 

My stats for "War Nerve" (Cavalier):

Str: 18 / 05 (doh!!)
Dex: 18
Con: 18
Int: 12
Wis: 15
Cha: 18

The low strength bonus was frustrating, but the other stats were just too high to re-roll.
