Monks, monks, even more monks
This is a follow on to the "Monks, monks, everywhere a Monk" thread. Please read it first.
This is a case of trying to check viability of the example variances of point buy in the PHB.
1) all arounder buy
12,12,13,13,13,12.
14,12,14,13,13,13.
14,12,13,13,15,12.
2) hi and low buy dwarf stereotype prone.
15,8,15,15,8,8.
17,8,16,15,8,8.
17,8,15,15,10,8.
3) hi and low buy playing to perceived key stats.
8,8,15,15,15,8
10,8,16,15,15,8.
10,8,15,15,17,8.
Same questions as the previous thread mentioned in the first sentence.
Thank you for your patience.With one exception, I play AL games only nowdays.

Re: Monks, monks, even more monks
We're supposed to search for the other thread to find the question? Sounds fun.

Pro tip: If you want people to help you, don't add unnecessary steps to their helping you because you're too lazy to add a link to your OP.
Acting like a prick doesn't help your case either.

Re: Monks, monks, even more monks
"First, apologies to Five Man Electric Band.
Second, these will be standard array thoughts, point buy to follow in second thread.
Okay, not looking for the perfect optimization but just some feed back about potential starting stats for Dwarf Monks.
Standard Schematic
ST,IN,WI,DE,CO,CH Base stats. Hill Dwf. Mountain Dwf.
1) standard array
12,10,15,14,13,8.
14,10,16,14,13,8.
14,10,15,14,15,8.
2) alternate standard array
8,10,15,13,14,12.
10,10,16,13,14,12.
10,10,15,13,16,12.
Anything jump out to anyone about any of these four sets of starting abilities?
Are there any "glass jaw" stats that might affect the game play of the character that might not be obvious to me as a new player?
What role play nuances might be hidden in the base starting stats that you see?
What role(s) would these beginning numbers lend themselves to in initial game play?
Thanks in advance."
Here is a copy/paste which I hope is not a rules violation.Last edited by ZorroGames; 2017-04-28 at 05:45 PM.

Re: Monks, monks, even more monks
Three decades rusty programming skills has Hill Dwarf adding +2 to ST instead of CO. Arrgh!
