I like the "Street Walrus" angle. That's it. He'll be a unique new multi-class: Thief/Walrus.

So I'm going w/ Thief. what the heck.

Soundtrack for the game so far:

Detroit Rock City
I am the Walrus

ROIKOS



Stat rolls started out uber awesome (using my lucky, purple, precision, backgammon dice!) but the next 2 rolls were 'meh' and the last was downright horrible!

In any order:
15
15
14
9
9
6

Thought I would cheat - just a lil'bit - and reroll 'em; not so much to get higher than 15, but just to get rid of that darn 6! Here's what my "cheat" rolls were using the same "lucky" dice, mind you:
3
13
14
12
6
10

Guess I should have pulled out my 19mm Casino dice! A mean DM would say, "Well - for cheating - you get to make your character with the second, 'cheating,' dice rolls!" hahahaha

So the 6 is your wis score, right? I think my thief will have a dex of 6 or less, just to make it interesting. Did I mention he's blind and with a peg leg? Move silently is tough, but you should see him climb walls.....

Picks locks... Brail method

I'm not a mean DM, fortunately. Sumo, remember the rule in basic D&D:

You can lower your STR, INT or WIS by 2 points in order to raise your prime requisite by 1 point.
Dexterity cannot be lowered, but it can be raised if you have a thief or halfling character.
Constitution and Charisma can never be lowered.
No score can be lowered below 9, or raised above 18.

Also keep in mind that while a high wisdom is great for saving throws vs spells and getting that cleric xp bonus, it doesn't really influence your spell-casting or undead turning abilities in basic D&D. In my last game, Kipper ran a cleric with a wisdom of 9.

Just some options for you. Keep that first set of dice rolls; you can still make a very good character with it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all wonderful. But what's the ability score modifiers and bonuses for walrus PC's?

It's been a long time since I've read (or had to remember) those rules; thanks for the advice/tips/reminders!! I just thought it was funny that even 'trying again' yielded such bad results; I'll live with the 6! hahaha

Walrus PC's in basic have a max of 5 for all ability scores except for CHA which is pegged at 3.

The good news is that your fellow PCs can sell your tusks for a nice profit if you were to meet with an untimely end. Handy for buriel fees. Or just spending it all on the three Ws. (Wine, Women, and Walrus hides.)

Is it a Portuguese walrus? Or is it a Detroit walrus? If the former, no adjustments; if the latter, it's probably already been killed by Ted Nugent. I bet the Motor City madman is quite handy with a harpoon.
