Isn't it 17 using point buy or standard stats?

Pathfinder is such a great system - if it didn't exist, I wouldn't be able to know which players to avoid.

>>51843120
not according to the players handbook

Stats don't matter in 5e so who the fuck cares?

>>51843120
No, you can get it up to 15 with raw pointbuy, and then you can get 17 with racial modifiers.

As a Pathfinder power gamer, I would take the restrictions as a challenge and attempt to work within them.

Power without cost is boring, I find min maxing far more entertaining when I am bound by rules.

as someone currently playing a catfolk ninja in a Pathfinder game I really can't dispute this picture.

Rolled stats are an outdated mechanic more suited to a roguelike dungeon-crawler than an actual RPG.

>>51843120
If you use point buy or the array, the limit is 15 w/o racial modifiers.

With that being said, he could've always tried 3d6 in order or 4d6, drop the lowest one if he wanted an 18-20 starting out.

>>51844012
Rolling for stats only worked when you only got a modifier at 16+. In modern D&D where every you can get a +1 modifier as low as 12, and the game is balanced around the player having these higher modifiers, a bad roll for stats can be the difference between keeping up and lagging behind.

With that being said, 4e and 5e did kinda address this issue but you're still better off shooting for 16-20 at least when it comes your primary stats.

>>51843063

I had the opposite problem.
I wanted to make a character with a low stat, but the game didn't allow me to.

>>51844012
I role for my stats at all times

>>51843120
after race. 15 for bases.

I've made five or six characterS with roll 4d6, apply where you please, and it works just fine. I don't understand people who hate rolling so much.
