Perhaps I should just speed this along? This has gotten a little frustrating.

Up to you Kn if you accept these rolls on his behalf, but if not it should at least show what he needs to do.

If he wishes to accept these rolls I have no issues with it. I will let him decide if he wishes to accept them.

Welp, Anron, if you do take it, that would leave you with a spread of 17,17,16,15,8,8. That's a little above average overall. You might do better if you roll for yourself, you might not.

With that many good stats, I would be inclined to suggest something that can make good use of them.

You seem to want a dexterous fighter type of some description. Rogue, Ranger, or Fighter could go that route. Kn is allowing material from any official source, which opens up a lot of additional options.

Such as the Swordsage, a stealthy weaponmaster with a lot of tricks up their sleeve, or the psychic rogue, a class that adds things like telekinesis to the rogue's usual repertoire.

What kind of things do you have in mind?

Yes, thank you Daishain that spread of base statistics is fine.
17, 17, 16, 15, 8, 8
I would prefer the two lowest scores to be given to Charisma, and Wisdom. As I have done more work so far on the half-Elf character, its probably better to utilize that character.
So to make it fit a more "Rogue-like" character, the Elven side would be more Drow-like in appearance.

This means a darker tanned skin, more silvery hair. Which would fit in with the below average charisma. Hence I would prefer to go around wearing a hood?
With the "Elven" half being more Drow-like then the natural propensity for the character will be in the Arcane arts.
I will leave specific skills of a "Magical" nature to the discretion of the GM ultimately.
But at a guess, Night-vision, Levitation, Clairvoyance, immune to sleep spells might be in its repertoire, or a goal?

So to that extent I see him, not charismatic wielding a long-sword, and brandishing plate-mail.
Most likely, robe, cape and leather armor or similar.
Maybe a hand-held crossbow? Or dagger or two?

But to answer the original question, I do accept the scores.

One more thing…
However if Kntoran agrees, the character sheet might need editing (With his help?) in name from Fighter to Rogue? Under the player name Anronrosby. If allowed to go down this path. Also the alignment edited to more like chaotic neutral at best? The character history darkened a bit more? Also devoting more time to Alchemy and arcane arts instead of "Swordsmanship".

There is no half drow racial entry I am afraid, and the actual Drow have a +2 Level adjustment, meaning you can't start a level 1 character with them. (Even if you wanted to, LA really hurts to mess with)

I would say you are free to use a half elf Source 3s, and describe them with some drow physical attributes, but that latter would be purely cosmetic. Anything more than a cosmetic change would be up to Kntoran, and I would not expect him to make such widespread deviations from RAW (Nor would I encourage him to do so to be frank).

P.S. You can freely make edits yourself now, just click on your character sheet then update character.

Ok you accepted the rolls for the basic stats. Now I need to you roll a d8 for height modification as you are taller than average and also roll 3d8 for your weight as you are underweight. Rolling a 12 for hair color gives you your choice. Rolling a 11 for Eye color gives you hazel eyes. You will have 130 gold to buy your equipment and stuff.

As far as half elven characters. You can be half drow but you will only have the same starting stats as any other half elf. You will not get any drow bonuses at all. What the book says for half elf is what you get. You do start at 1st level with max hit points possible. Please make the edits to your character sheet.

Therefore just to confirm for Anron's character stats:I can choose hair color myself. So hair color = silvery blonde. For eyes a 11 is rolled so Eye color = hazel. I will roll both the height and weight modification as indicated on following dice roll.

Also just to confirm, I should be able after all rolls are completed transfer results to existing character sheet under "Anronsby." Which means remove any existing data, there (As necessary), and manually add the new data? (Unless the GM has done it already?)
I'm happy to have the standard statistics for a level 1, Half-Elf. The reason I thought "Drow" was purely because of the below average charisma anyhow.

P.S Let me know if the rolls were done correctly.

Messed up the weight modification roll. Don't worry about it, common mistake. That first pulldown menu on the dice roller sets the minimum number you can roll. If for instance you have some feature that means you get to reroll any 1's, you could shift that setting to 2 instead.

The setting you need to roll multiple dice is the last one on the row.

To edit your stuff, stats included, click on the character sheet button on the right side of any of your posts in game related threads, then click update character on the top of the page that takes you to.

Is it simply a straight rogue you wanted to work with, or were there any other skills you imagine this guy having? Need to work within the constraints of existing classes, but there are boatloads of options there.
