Character Creation Challenge, Day 5 of 31

As with yesterday, we'll give AD&D 1e a go again and see what we come up with this time.

We'll keep using Method III from the DMG - roll 3D6 six times for each ability in order, and then use the highest value.

Strength: 14
Intelligence: 12
Wisdom: 15
Dexterity: 14
Constitution: 17

Charisma: 16

Let's see what is in and out.

Strength is too low for a monk

Intelligence is too low for a ranger or an illusionist

Wisdom is too high for a half-orc, too low for a ranger or a monk - could be reduced to 14 to be a half-orc though.

Dexterity is too low for a monk or an illusionist

Constitution is great for tanking hits

Charisma is too low for a paladin

I think this sounds like a good candidate to be a half-orc assassin. Taking the racial limits and modifiers gives us:

Strength: 15

Intelligence: 12

Wisdom: 14

Dexterity: 14

Constitution: 18

Charisma: 14 (16)

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Infravision: 60 ft

Speaks: Common, Lawful Evil, Orcish
