Oriana's Stats

[Firstbourne]

Oriana's stats appear to be too high.

I calculated with a 15-point buy, +2 to a single stat for human, and 2 +1's (4th level and 8th level increases). Still, she appears to be built with at least 20 points.

Am I missing something?

Well, let's work backward...

She's got 16/10/18/13/8/13. Let's say the human bonus is to CON, while her level up bonuses were 1 in STR and 1 in CON. That would put her initial spread as 15/10/15/13/8/13... which is 18. To make it 15 like most NPCs, we can just put her CHA to 10. Shouldn't really change much other than lowering her intimidate and handle animal by 1.

Looking back at her stats... she's got a +2 enhancement bonus to her Constitution score. That's where the extra 2 unexplained points are coming from; otherwise her stats are correct.

I'm not sure what that bonus was represented as... but the easiest solution is to give her a couple of potions of bear's endurance and have her drink one just before the fight. Alternatively, give her a +2 Con belt.

Or just play her as-is and assume she rolled a slight bit better than normal on her stats—an extra +2 to her Con isn't going to change her CR, in any event.

I think I worked her out as a 19 point build before bonus points at 4th & 8th level. But hey - she's a unique npc and can have whatever ability scores she wants. The pc's are rolling ability scores in my campaign :).

What's got me more concerned is that her intimidate skill might not include the bonus for the maiden's helm. I haven't counted her skill points yet to double check before I tweak anything.
