Re: OOC: Chat
Its okay if you need to change your character concept, race, or class, to fit the stats, but keep in mind, stats cap at 20, and Fighters get 7 ability score increases. No matter your class, your primary stat will hit its cap at level 12 if you focus, and you'll have 4 points left, or 2 feats, by 20 (And not hitting the cap really isn't the end of the world.) So even if you start off slow, you can still hit the cap for strength, and have a decent constitution and charisma, while using heavy armor to cover the lack of dexterity. Perhaps play a Dwarf and inspire with your actions rather than your charisma, or if being charismatic and a half-elf is important to you, be a paladin (just don't roll for HP. Take the average, trust me.) You may not hit as often as the 18 strength, reckless attacking Barbarian, but when you do, your enemies will feel it. Hell, maybe you literally went Rogue when you left home. A short sword in each hand means double the chances to get those lovely, ability-score-independent, sneak attack dice.
