[ Setting Information / Background ]

SPACE Peace in the viscounty of Shasta has lasted for generations. In fact, its been nearly a hundred years since the military actually was fielded. The Great War, that happened then, had caused several of Shasta's neighboring kingdoms to become involved. It was a great alliance against an ancient evil.
SPACE However these days, the only real threat to peace is the frequent bandit attacks on the roadways. Adventuring companies based out of Shasta have found great revenue dispatching mercenaries to deal with them. As of late, those sent to the Krad Hills, primarily those sent near the Red Cap Mountains, have not returned. Evidence suggests death.

[ Game Introduction / Plot ]

SPACE You are a new employee of the S&S Adventuring Company based out of the 2nd District of Shasta. You've passed the initiation and have received your orders. Your boss, Captain Johnaton Greene, has told you of the troubles in Albany, an expanding trade town, on the border of Selvia, an elven kingdom. The job is simple. Find and eliminate the bandit threat to the town.

rolls for wis and cha

...not looking good so far.


Edit:

STR 11
CON 10
DEX 16
INT 12
WIS 12
CHA 14

...yeah...that's less then a normal 20 point buy, I think I'm out unless I can do something else.
.

Ok, cool I'll take that, then I'll go with...

STR 11
CON 10
DEX 16
INT 12
WIS 12
CHA 16

Looks like a striker for me.

WIS 14
CHA 6

Uhhhhhh... ._.

And the results are!

4, 4, 6, 2, 5 = 15 = STR
3, 3, 1, 2, 2 = 8 = CON
6, 4, 6, 2, 4 = 16 = DEX
6, 6, 6, 4, 2 = 18 = INT
2, 5, 1, 3, 1 = 10 = WIS
2, 4, 6, 6, 5 = 17 = CHA

Looks like I'm an Int-based class. Maybe Int an Dex? Probably gonna be a weezard.

May I trade my Charisma for Ms. Fish's?

While looking up class/ability score lists, I found this, if it helps anyone:

Poit!

I'll wait until I can see if I can donate my Charisma or not before I decide anything definite. And/or hearing people go "I'm gonna play X!"

Possibilities for me are Rogue, Warlock (if I keep Cha), Wizard, Swordmage, Monk, Fighter, Paladin (if I keep Cha), Psion (if I keep Cha)... yeah, with ranged support to compensate for lack of Constitution/hit points, Warlock or Psion are probably my best bets, or wizard if I donate my Charisma.

Oh duh, I can do my ninja ranger still! I might do that!

So Psion, Wizard, Rogue (ranged), Ranger (ranged), Warlock are my likely candidates.

UPDATE: I've narrowed my choices down to Psion or Rogue. Rogues have a MP2 option that benefits from high Intelligence so I might convert my ranger over.

ALTERNATIVELY a beast ranger could work to fill in the gap from my lacking Constitution...

Eitherways, ranged martial striker or ranged psionic controller.

I figured it out. Since I'm keeping my Charisma score and not donating it ( sad ), I'm going to make a spellcasty bard. I'll whip up the character sheet then head off to bed for the night.
