Sounds like a player entitlement problem to me. When the DM says "jump", you say "how high?", because it's his game so he makes the rules and you have no right to whine about it. Maybe you should go back to playing WoW like you obviously want to.
I'm a reasonable person giving completely reasonable advice.
@Kolokotroni = I'll definitely appreciate anything else you have to offer. :D And I'll definitely see how this pans out. So now I'm looking into races for which kind of summoner since that seems to be THE route.
Based on what you have mentioned for your race options, go catfolk, put the 2 in dex, they get a charisma bonus, and a dex bonus, so your charisma goes to 18 and your dex to 4.

But seriously, forget all the stuff about playing a synthesist or whatever. Get the hell away from that game, get the hell away from that guy, he's obviously toxic and has issues.
Taking it out on everyone else in game isn't that much better than them being mean to you in the first place... Bad karma.
I'm still trying to get over the, if you die, you don't get to re-roll, ouch, and that this rule only applies to you.
did you sucide a character before? or have you frequently changed characters mid game in the past? did you min/max? I asked because that is a pretty extreme position, and even moreso because it seems it only applies to you.

The reason is that the OP and the DM broke up and the DM still isn't over it and is being a git and is apparently weird whenever they're not playing D&D and is now refusing to talk to the OP outside of D&D and is being a git to the OP within D&D and the OP hasn't figured out that it's time to sever.
How exactly did you get a two? What is his stat generation method?
With that aside I would not play in the group if someone is using personal bias against me.
If you want to play that bad however read up on the synthesis. :)
This will not end well for you.
What might be fun, is to play a Beast Totem Barbarian with the 2 into Int. Play your char as a feral beast that learns basic trained animal commands. The rangers can then direct you in battle where you go all Beast Ragey on the enemies.
While I understand and agree with the statements that if it was me I'd not play in this game with this particular DM, the comments aren't really helpful.
The OP has stated time and time again that they want to play in this game with this DM. Period. They have only asked for help with creating a furry character that can survive with a 2 in one of its ability scores. Let's all just try to be helpful in that alone and offer our suggestions with what we can do to aid them in that endeavor and keep our personal opinions on how big of a Richard the DM is being to ourselves.
A lot of suggestions for Synthesist and some for Oracle have been given, let us continue with builds and ideas that will allow for a playable character for the OP which could include interesting back-stories.
My other thought is a character who is just dumb as a box of rocks, s/he took a blow to the head whilst out adventuring and now has a 2 INT, but they are still able to wield a blade.
I'd think about going with the Kitsune Trickster archetype in this instance and wield Kukris (higher crit threat of 18-20 and when keen or improved crit they are 15-20).
Kitsune, or fox folk, are vulpine shapeshifters known for their love of both trickery and art. Quick-witted and nimble, kitsune make excellent bards and rogues.
Scores:
Str - 8 (-2 Racial)
Dex - 18 (+2 Racial)
Con - 10
Int - 12
Wis - 2
Cha - 13 (+2 Racial)
Traits if allowed:
River Rat
Dirty Fighter
Level 1 Feat - Combat Reflexes
Level 2 Rogue Talent - Finesse Rogue
Level 3 Feat - Piranha Strike
Basically the idea is to always be flanking and getting of quick attacks of opportunity as the enemies try to move away, you are using your dex in place of your strength to hit/damage.
The other idea I just thought of was going with a Kitsune Ninja as they have a lot of the same things that Rogues do, but they get those ki points and it might fit better with the kitsune flavor. Totally up to you though.

If this is true, you should not play in this game, I understand the stubborness, but no good will come of this. He obviously will tilt the game against you, the other players are going to look out for that and that's going to be a source of dissention the entire game. I can't see this being a fun experience for any involved. if the only reason you're playing is because of stubborness, then perhaps you should not play. And if you guys can't even manage to communicate outside of the game, then the game is just going to be a proxy for that communication, which going to get uncomfortable real fast. This just isn't a very good idea. I don't think bowing out in this case is a sign of capitulation, but a sign of wisdom.
That said i concur in judgement about the synthsis summoner. You could also make an arcane caster with a very low strengh score.
i would not place the 2 in any of the mental stats, as I do not believe that it would be possible to roll play or that such a character could realistically ever exist as a hero.
an intellegence of 2 would equal profoundly retarded.
a charisma of 2 would mean permanant clinical depression, you would not have the drive to get out of work.
a wisdom 2 would literally be a 2 or 3 year old. none of us are capable of role playing a 2 or 3 year old. we know enough not eat dirt, or play with fire, and do the incredibly stupid things 2 and 3 year olds that require thier constant supervision.

The op said they wish to play in the game, they understand the that the dm is being a jerk, but want to try anyway and think they can have fun. A ton of people have said dont play in the game. The OP gets it, but that isnt what they are asking for. They are asking what to do with the stats they have. People get to make their own descisions in life, the op has made it. Lets move on and see if we cant help a bit rather then hammering the smae point over and over.

however what they are asking pre-supposes that this set up can actually work. I do not think in this case, it is innapporiate to point out, that it is highly unlikely that such a game can work. DMs and Players have to both communicate and respect each, merely wishing or thinking one can have fun is not enough. I also did give suggestion on how the stats could be used, but i would have been remiss, if in doing so, i fail to mentioned, the toxic conditions that this game is likely to create.
Zergei, I second Synthesist Summoner.
It'll be a harder character to play(since Eidolons are hard to build) but the trade offs will make you playable. If you need help building one, I recommend consulting the forums.
As for playing with an Ex... I've got to say, that takes a lot of gumption, so you have my respect for that.
If you're looking to maintain friendships with the other players, that's a different story. You need to take the DM aside, at game perhaps, and explain to him your intentions and ask him what you have to do to continue playing. Be mature about it, set ground rules.
If you're just looking to play PF and have fun, I recommend you looking for another group in your area, PFS maybe. If this is the only group available, consider DMing yourself. If that's not appealing, or aside from this antagonism the DM is otherwise a superb DM whose game you absolutely must play in, then sit down and have a different kind of talk with the DM before game. Try to smooth things over, explain why you want to play, and that you'd really want to play again. That should help things. And actually ask him to let you keep playing if you're character dies. So don't go out and seek death though, just play out whatever concept you settle on(Synthesist preference).
In my build above I put the 2 in Wis because I can see it being RP'd as someone who had an unfortunate accident and lost some part of their mental faculties. It can be played a variety of ways, but no matter how you look at it that 2 has to go SOMEWHERE and even if the rogue isn't good at perceiving things due to being in their own world most of the time they would be a decent martial character beyond that. It's up to the OP to decide how to RP their character anyhow so lets just try to give our suggestions on how best to create a character they might want to play.
...
You've made your opinion very well known by now Ikarinokami, try to stay to the topic at hand and be helpful with what the OP wants. They don't want your opinion on how big of a douche their DM is or how to deal with him. They want help on creating a feasible character that can function with a 2 in their stat array. This CAN be done, though it is hard for a lot of us to do or to even accept.
If you can't throw out a build or suggestion then I suggest you pass the thread by and continue on your way to other threads that might warrant your input. BTW I'm not trying to be a jerk here, just trying to offer helpful advice on what the OP wants and keeping my feelings on how to deal with their DM to myself at this point.
I'd like to know who is trouser stain of a GM is so I and many others can know to avoid him.
Look in the bestiary for something you like that happens to have animal intelligence, and play one of those, put the 2 into INT since you won't be capable of speech anyway.
Then kill everything in the DM's campaign, like seriously everything. If he wants to ruin your fun, then he deserves none, a 2 isn't supposed to be legal for play, you aren't supposed to have any stats below 3 (before racial mods). Or just lie the entire time you are playing and act like you have a better stat than you actually do, and do it enough where the DM can't argue with you about it, your fellow players should be on your side.

i suppose you stopped reading my post, as i did give a build suggestion. so ill repeat it for you.
no mental stats of 2, because those cannot be roleplayed by sane people.
a 2 charisma would litterally have no reason to leave the bed
a 2 wisdom is a 2 year old, 2 year olds make terrible heros
a 2 int is profoundly mentally disabled.
you can build any arcane caster with a strengh of 2 just fine, think rastilin.
no martial builds are possible.
other possibilies would be an oracle with a lame curse, since a str of 2 or a dex of two would make sense in either case.
Regardless of what the OP believes this game cannot be fun.

No.
The OP may have read the posts with people saying to leave the game, but obviously doesn't "get it", or we wouldn't still be having this conversation. Sometimes, people refuse to accept the truth, but that doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't point it out, or should play along with their delusion.
The only correct answer here is "Get away from this abusive relationship". All other advice given in this thread is just plain wrong.
I do like the idea of a Elf with a con of 2. Tell them you are like Elric. Be a sorc.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
but like I said now its about principle
You keep saying that it's about principle. What principle? What on earth do you have to prove? That you're more stubborn than he is? That you will let your ego get in the way of making your own life better?
Seriously, what could you possibly have to gain by staying and what do you have to lose by leaving?
If you leave, he doesn't "win" and you do not "lose." He's already lost, and you can only win by shedding him from your life.

No I read your stuff, but frankly you just keep going on about how badwrongfun this DM is and how the OP needs to leave the group. That isn't helpful and not what the OP is asking in the first place.
Posting that this character can't be melee is debatable, I think it can be played a someone with low WIS as my example pointed out, would this be optimal? Heck no, but it can be done by someone who is a good RP'er in my opinion.
All I'm saying is that if this game/DM isn't fun for you and your tastes, we all understand that very very very well by now. Perhaps try to come up with more ideas? Rastilin is a great start!
@Uber nerd - Thank you, for offering builds as well as some insight for the other charcaters. Here's what I came up with so far from looking around and reading what some of you had also gave for me.
-Eidolan
Quadruped
HP: 125
AC: 22 (+12 Natural) -- when fused my AA goes from 9 to 36.
STR: 28
DEX: 17
CON: 18
INT: 7
WIS: 10
CHA: 11
BAB: +9
Evolutions: Bite, Bite Improved, Claws, Climb, Flight (Wings), INA(X3), Large Size, Limbs (Legs)x2, Reach (Bite), Trip (Bite), See in Darkness.I'm deducing because of the way synthetics work it'll take my mental scores so the low scores do not matter.
Not a bad start. The synthesist summoner basically lets you wear the summon as armor, so you'll be using the summon's physical stats and your own mental stats.
Try to max out your summon's physical stats, AC, and damage potential, and you'll be able to overcome your low stats.

@ikarinokami - I really do appreciate your interest, and concern for my well being. And on normal circumstances I wouldn't join this game, but I have fun in D&D and every single member of this party is a friend of mine. He's the only one being a douche. And I get it, but I'm going to find a way to play, and I'll have my fun. I can s$~* out backstories like candy from a candy dispenser.
However that idea is also quite interesting.
--------------
@Grall - Hopefully I can get the gist of this before thursday. >.>
what race did you pick?
kitsune is a good choice.
if you wanted to be snarky, merfolk does fit, since you are a synthesis summoner, the having no legs won't matter, i would not suggest this option in the interest of comity however.

** spoiler omitted **...
a 2 wisdom is a child. look at a bell curve. you can't have a martial character, because where are you going to put the two. You cannot role play a 2. role play is more than just the modifiers.
yes, if role playing is only about the modifiers, then yea you can have a 2 int or wis or cha. if the two actually represents something more, such as the actual disturbtion based upon the scale, then no it is not possible to roll play a 2 in any mental stat. The OP indicated that she wanted a actually roll play what the stats meant. that meant that no 2's in mental stats are possible. if she played a martial character she would have a 2 in either dex, str or con,- is it possible sure, but how did such a character ever make it through training, it would hard to fathom any marital character with a 2 in physical stat. when i say martial, i mean rangers, fighters, rogues, not druids or summoners.
lastly it is not that i think it can't be fun, it's that the game cannot be fun. it's a game where the DM doesn't want the player to play but is too cowardly to say it, which the OP has it seems to me acknowldege this to be the case. you cannot have a fun game, where the DM doesnt want you to be there, and if you cannot understand why that would be self evident, im not sure what to tell you.
You know what?
Play a synthesist.
No regrets.
I was thinking the same thing while reading down the posts!
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. I think it's possible and I'd actually be up to the challenge of playing a martial character with a 2 wisdom. Martial training doesn't solely rely upon wisdom, this character with the stats I put out is actually intelligent and instinctual in regards to how they fight. Are they good at perceiving all the threats around them or knowing when someone is lying to them? Nope. Will they be susceptible to charm spells or anything that affects their WILL saves? Yep, but when they get into a fight instinct can take over and they become deadly with a finesse weapon, all they need to know is where to stick the pointy end of their dagger and that's straight into the back of their enemy.
Like I said, I think I could personally RP one of those characters. Would it be hard to do? Yeah, but I think it could also lend for an amazing experience and I'm sure that character would become one of my most memorable of all time. This is a game about having fun and as long as the OP has fun and gets good advice for us on how to create a fun and feasible character given the constraints that's all that really matters here.

I simply can't understand why you insist in playing with this guy. Just reading your poss make me dislike him enough to never play wih him.
And I have to ask, what do the other players say about this? Last time my group had some jerk trying to screw another player, we kicked the jerk out of the group (and it was the best decision we ever made!).
DMs roleplay creatures with animal intelligence all the time. Why would a player be incapable of it?
I often play characters that have left pinky fingers. Why shouldn't you be content to just play a character's left pinky finger?

again the issue isnt that you couldn't play a 2 wisdom characer, it's that you could roll play a 2 wisdom character accurately. a two wisdom adult would be instutionalize or require around the clock supervision. they would have the mind of a young child.
you honestly believe you could teach a two year old combat? or that instict will take over? what instict? they have a 2 wisdom.
please if you have niece or nephew, try teaching them a simple martial arts kata. they have no attention span, they have difficulty making logical connections. i think you are not comprehending how low a 2 is given the distrubtion of the stats. if 1-10 were the standard the distrubtion, then you would have a point, but it's a 1-18 distrubtution, where 9-10 would be considered average. a 2 two is profoundly low number.
If you do a 2 stat, say intelligence, there are amoebas more intelligent than that, lol.
Catfolk works. although you lose most of thier benefit by being a synthesis summoner.
so i would
put the 2 into strenght
the 16 in cha
the other stats place whereever.
now i know everyone including myself has suggested the synthesis summoner, which is excellent if you want to wade into combat, but
if you just wanted maximum power, the master summoner is actually superior. now granted you will have a very low str, and encumberance if used is going to be a gaint pain in ass. however if i were to label any class as being overpowered it would be a master summoner.

I will direct you to one of the biggest baddest melee beasts around which has an INT of 3, yet it fights on instinct. I think of wisdom as being the same kind of mental stat, not exactly intelligence, but with a character who is actually intelligent it can think logically about things, but doesn't make the best choices.
Now I also refer you to look at this thread about a character with 1 Wisdom and it might give you wisdom on how to play a character like that and why I think it's possible and why a LOT of others think it is too.
My point: Your opinion is just that, it's your opinion and you have a right to it just like anyone else. If you can't see past the obscenely low stat score to play a challenging character then that's your loss.
Zergei,
Why don't ou ask the other players to back you up? If our GM is being such a jerk and hey want you at he able, they'll most likely be on your side.
If I had a GM trying to screw with one of my friends, I'd gladly tell the GM to stop being a jerk or GTFO.
I...I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. I think it's possible and I'd actually be up to the challenge of playing a martial character with a 2 wisdom. Martial training doesn't solely rely upon wisdom, this character with the stats I put out is actually intelligent and instinctual in regards to how they fight. Are they good at perceiving all the threats around them or knowing when someone is lying to them? Nope. Will they be susceptible to charm spells or anything that affects their WILL saves? Yep, but when they get into a fight instinct can take over and they become deadly with a finesse weapon, all they need to know is where to stick the pointy end of their dagger and that's straight into the back of their enemy.
Like I said, I think I could personally RP one of those characters. Would it be hard to do? Yeah, but I think it could also lend for an amazing experience and I'm sure that character would become one of my most memorable of all time. This is a game about having fun and as long as the OP has fun and gets good advice for us on how to create a fun and feasible character given the constraints that's all that really matters here.
again the issue isnt that you couldn't play a 2 wisdom characer, it's that you could roll play a 2 wisdom character accurately. a two wisdom adult would be instutionalize or require around the clock supervision. they would have the mind of a young child.
you honestly believe you could teach a two year old combat? or that instict will take over? what instict? they have a 2 wisdom.
please if you have young niece or nephew, try teaching them a simple martial arts kata. they have no attention span, they have difficulty making logical connections. i think you are not comprehending how low a 2 is given the distrubtion of the stats. if 1-10 were the standard the distrubtion, then you would have a point, but it's a 1-18 distrubtution, where 9-10 would be considered average. a 2 two is profoundly low number.
So what your saying that a tarrasue could be a hero? that a tarrasque could make good decisions? a tarrasque can function as a 3 int, because it has no responsiblites, it doesnt need to learn anything, it is a magical beast, it was imprinted with all the knowldege it needs, hence why it has animal intellegence. Humaniods don't get that benefit, that's why humaniods are defined by class levels not Hit dice.
and did you read that thread about the implications of a 1 wisdom? forget that most them got it wrong, by game rules a 1 wisdom is a newborn child.
It is not possible by the rules of this game to play a 2 in any mental stat as a humaniod creature. A 0 in any of those stats is comatose. a 1 is literally a newborn child. consider that, a 1 is a newborn.
A 2 is about a 1-2 year old. go and watch 1 and 2 year olds, and then tell me, if any them would have the mental capacity of learn anything even close to what would be required by a level 1 character
