Is This A Good Or Bad Thing?


I haven't played D&D for a long time so I don't know what any of this means. I don't like being told that I 'advance mediocrity' but I do like the ruffles.

Neutral Good Human Sorcerer (5th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength- 11
Dexterity- 12
Constitution- 11
Intelligence- 15
Wisdom- 13
Charisma- 11

Alignment:
Neutral Good- A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Sorcerers- Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

If you can swap INT and CHA, do it. IIRC, it is all charisma with sorcerers, and I think with an 11 you'd only be allowed 1st level spells (just in case there are rules lawyers around).

Even the DM keeps a brother down.

That's how most DM's roll ;-)

The wife told me to make that comment, btw. She reads your blog (well, looks at the pictures) but does not, I don't think, comment. She's got a Tumblr.
