Orcs are good luck!
18 years ago
I was rolling up an orc druid for a D&D session I'm getting ready for. Having never played a druid, I rolled a few dice around to get a general idea of how I'd do for starting stats... nothing official, just practice.
Go figure: it doesn't count and I get an amazing set of rolls. 9, 13, 14, 14, 15, and an *18*. *laugh* Having played D&D for a good 5 years, I've never once gotten an 18 at character creation.
Ended up being...
Strength 19 (15+4)
Dexterity 9
Constitution 14
Intelligence 12 (14-2 ; I don't create "dumb orc" characters because they aren't dumb!)
Wisdom 16 (18-2)
Charisma 11 (13-2)
...not that it matters, because it was a practice setup, but heh. Hopefully when I do it in front of the DM, my orc will be just as lucky. *fingers crossed*
