AL's selectivity with variant, optional, and RAW often strikes me as silly. AL will take the variant point buy and optional feats, and disregard a number of the other variant and optional rules that offer more realistic rping.
    I think you may be misinterpreting what I am saying... In several of the builds I mention that a strength build for heavy armor is an option, but list a dex based build intending to wear medium armor. I would not suggest wearing heavy armor without some way of counteracting the movement speed penalty, or in some very niche build. Some of the classes are so hard to combine with point buy stats that you just have to make sacrifices.

    Want to Multiclass? I wrote the book on it:http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...classing-Guide
    Expect advice on the optimization rules you are breaking: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...r-Optimization
    I am an avid optimizer and love to give fire to the people... So long as they are restrained first so they have disadvantage on their dex saves.
    Feel free to PM me for one on one build advice.
