greetings playgrounders
I have a tendency to ramble, so I spoilered what my original rambling question was, followed by the condensed version
depending on how much homework I get done, I may have the opportunity to play in a solo campaign saturday
so I'm rolling up a*, it struck me as a fairly self sufficient class for a solo campaign.
I'm rolling the standard 4d6 drop the lowest, I'm doing it all by the book (except starting gold)
now, given that its a solo campaign, and the DM is fond of 'solid' stat blocks, I took the liberty of rolling to sets, because the first struck me as sub par.
however, the 2nd, not being clearly 'better' leaves me wonderin which I should go with.
so I come to you for some numbers advice, which is the 'better' stat block?
for the record I am NOT looking for placement or build advice ONLY NUMBERS
stat block 1:
17, 10, 13, 10, 13, 10
stat block 2:
15, 14, 14, 11, 13, 11
so my question for you playgrounders is simple
which of these is better (numbers wise)
*it struck me as better to eliminate the class, as that makes it soley a numbers question, hence, regardless of class, which of these statblocks would you take?
I've seen two schools of thought on things like this
school A: it is better to have an 18 and everything else is 10*
*but it helps to have a 2nd high stat
and
school B: it is better to have 'balanced' stats in everything (bonuses in as many stats as possible, with few to no penalties)
but I digress
anyways: which stat block is better
tl;dr
if you had to pick between these two stat blocks, regardless of class, which would you pick?
stat block 1:
17, 10, 13, 10, 13, 10
stat block 2:
15, 14, 14, 11, 13, 11
thanks in advance
