I'm considering playing a MONK or PALADIN but I don't think I can with current character creation rules. Thoughts, Sumo?

If you play a monk, make him a martial artist like Kung Fu Joe from I’m Gonna Git You Sucka! He was the baddest.

Loved Steve James in that role. He was great where ever he was cast: one of my favorite b-movie stars.

You can't? I was just saying let me know which one (outside the core four) so I could read the rules and see if there was any House Rule tweaking needed.

I’d like to try a Monk then. Requires two 15s and a 12

Ok, I gotcha now...

I presume you tried Option #3 (or 4) in the Character Sheets thread and you had "Connivingsumo luck" on those die rolls? :lol: :lol: :lol:

You can use Option #1 = no problem. To have a STR ability score of 12 it costs 4pts, so from 27 "points" you're now down to 23.

Two scores of 15, DEX & WIS for Monk, will cost you 9pts each for a total of 18. So now you're down to 5pts to spend, but you have your prerequisites of STR:12, DEX:15, and WIS:15 all taken care of! :mrgreen:

Now the question is, do you want a HP modifier each level? If so, then there's no other option than to dump your remaining 5pts into CON for an ability score of 13 to get +1HP/lvl. This leaves you an 8 (-1 modifier) in the abilities of INT & CHA.

Conversely, if you wanted the character to be more rounded, you could make your INT, CHA, & CON with a modifier of +0 for the remaining 5pts.

Given the year I was born, it's amazing I've never seen this movie! :lol:

I love it. Totally ridiculous, but funny.
