    I'd say 72 should be fine. But much more than 80 might be a bit to much.
    But Stats points arn't the only way to be overpowered are they.
    Take this for an example.
    I might be a elf.
    Strength 9
    Dexerity 11
    Constitution 14
    Wisdom 5
    Intellegence 14
    Cirisma 2
    Which totals up to 55.
    But then I might have this amazing inherited ability to be able to summon a great white dragon, when ever I wanted, to do my biding.
    An exreme example but you get the point?
    (sorry about the spelling, I'm really tired and not thinking straight)

    Sure you COULD always be überpowerfull that way. But who wants to have a measly white dragon at their side? If someone just summon his white wyrm I will summon Klauth. :)

    [​IMG] Do our stats have to be D&D? Because I'm used to using point systems. I suppose I could transfer it though.

    No NPC's dammit. If you want another character, thats fine, but it should really have very little to do with your other one, and should be roleplayed as you would your main character.
    And damn I feel lazy lazy, but hey, I just can't be bothered posting my character at the moment.

    Charisma 2? That's like, the responsive level of a lizard, and close to a rock. Not possible within D&D stats.

    And no NPCs? Seems tough to me, seeing as how we don't have any farmers, merchants, government officials, etc. for the day-to-day processes. Oh, well.

    @Oaz - It was just an example the thing with 2 in charisma.

    And also, we have decided that it will be some mages that will take care of the day-to-day process.

    They sure are, if I have counted right(just did a fast fly-thru) you have 79 points, just like me. But I have to say that the monk written before by Acrones of th Old Order was a real powergaming character:

    Str:18
    Dex:17
    Con:16
    Int:14
    Wis:18
    Chr:03
    Tot:86

    Not much more points but a monk with the stats like this? Powergaming I say.

    But I am not one to flame so I will let him keep his character without futher flaming from me.

    [​IMG] Hmm, I suppose mine is overpowered, I'd made it on BG as a test.

    how about this:
    Str - 10
    Con - 11
    Dex - 14
    Wis - 12
    Int - 16
    Cha - 11

    The first one wasn't overpowered. But if you want this one instead then OK, you can.

    And I take it you a referring to 2e? Because in 3e a sorceress with 11 in charisma isnt good at all.

    [​IMG] I think I'm confused. I'm too used to my own ruleset. Where Sorcerers use intelligece for spells.

    I'll probably stick with my first set of stats then.

    So 8people, you work in the goverment, doing some magic a year so we can have our food and lumber and such, and is a chaotic neutral character? That seems a little...


    ...odd. But it's your character. :)

    J/K :D

    Have any of you ever read "Song of Sorcery" by Elizabeth Scarborough? I think I'll make Amelia a hearth-witch in the model of Maggie Brown, with a hobby of herbalism. Who knows what she can accomplish within those guidelines?! ;)

    Revised stats:
    ST: 9
    CO: 12
    DE: 9
    WI: 16
    IN: 15
    CH: 11

    Just a thought, what does it matter about your stats? This is a free form game, stats aren't really used except to get a feel for your character.

    True, but stats are the only mutual context we have for conveying that initial "feel."

    Or every one could just write a five thousand word essay on their character. I think this way everyone would get a feel of other peoples character. Ashuming anyone can be bothered to read the posts.
