Oh, or did you not do the in order rolls?
(addressed to Varrus)

I realize that is new for some of you guys.

Yeah it was new but I caught on. Trying to find some 2e for character creation. I'll go human thief. Need to figure out the %'s here soon. No kit!

Right, in order of rolls, sorry about that.

STR: 15
DEX: 13
Con: 16
INT: 11
Wis: 14
Cha: 9-> 11

So, either a fighter or a cleric is what I'm seeing.

Not quite as strong, but he does get a hit point boost for that CON score.

And, yeah, fighter or cleric. Either one could work well.

Hrmm. I guess I'll go cleric, unless the party is severely meat-shield deficient.

VAN: Normal is 8-10. In most abilities (not charisma), 8 won't give a penalty. You could go for a wizard. Ability scores do not influence the saving throw of enemies. A 15 intelligence is quite good for a wizard.

Set 1:
[dice]218263:0[/dice]
[dice]218263:1[/dice]
[dice]218263:2[/dice]
[dice]218263:3[/dice]
[dice]218263:4[/dice]
[dice]218263:5[/dice]

Set 2:
[dice]218263:6[/dice]
[dice]218263:7[/dice]
[dice]218263:8[/dice]
[dice]218263:9[/dice]
[dice]218263:10[/dice]
[dice]218263:11[/dice]
Set #1 for Alhoon could make a good fighter, if he's interested.

The swap one score for an 11 rule should address his concern about playing a guy with 4 CHR.

I'll wait for other players to make their decisions, then. I can make an interesting character out of either class.

But as an alternative, you can 'donate' your second set to Alhoon, Varrus.

Roll it up.

Then we can call a close to all this rolling and fiddling with scores.

[dice]3[/dice]

[dice]4[/dice]

[dice]5[/dice]

Ouch, that second set couldn't fight its way out of a wet paper bag.

Alhoon is interested. I wanted a fighter.

Cool beans.

He is not a powerhouse, but he does have a high CON. Hit point boost!

Speaking of hit points, does anyone object to maximum hit points (by hit dice) at first level?

Okay, so Cleric for me. Ewan, I'm going to need that primer on this world's religions.
