I posted in another thread, but adding here for visibility. Unless its some kind of plot point, she's missing a stat point. Her stats begin as
Str 14
Dex 9
Con 13
Int 10
Wis 16
Cha 14
When you can start with
Str 14
Dex 10
Con 13
Int 10
Wis 16
Cha 14
Its stupid to use the half elf bonus point on dex rather than strength, given that it costs more to go from a 13 to 14 than a 8 to a 9. Fix it already Larian. I've heard of min-max, but rarely min-min lol. Whats next, a fighter with the light armor feat?
Yeah her stats are....odd. Ive seen someone else suggest to swap her Cha and Dex stats which makes sense. But when you factor in the +2 CHA from her racial, the lowest her CHA can be would be a 10 If you substract the 2 points in cha,.1 point that went into WIS and the other (probably) went into STR you indeed have one point more to work with. If you go by point buy.
Standard array like some her have mentioned is probably what Larian went with though. 8 went into dex and was given one of the +1's from half elf class, 10 went into INT, 12 went into CHA coupled with half elf racial bonus makes it 14, 13 went into CON, 14 into STR and the last was 15 fpr WIS which got the last +1 from half elf racial.
That said aside from her good WIS score she doesent have much going for her. The high CHA is nice I suppose but shes a cleric, not a bard. Considering she has no heavy armor training and her sub class basicly resolves around DEX based things her current build makes absolutely no sense. She cant really tank all that well and even with a shield and the best armour I could find for her she struggled to tank effectively.
I think one of the following builds would work alot better:
Point buy: 8 STR, 15+1 for 16 DEX. 14 CON, 10 INT, 15+1 for 16 WIS, 8+2 for 10 CHA. Maybe give her short sword training. It ties into her background as a shady dextrous assasin type and Wyll also has profeciency in a different weapon then his starting weapon. During dnd players can also gain weapon training during down time for a small fee so its nothing special really...
That gives you:
STR8
DEX16
CON14
INT10
WIS16
CHA10
Or if they want to stick with the standard stats: 15 in WIS, +1 from half elf bonus for 16 WIS, 14 in CON, 13 in DEX, +1 from half elf bonus for 14 DEX, 12 in STR, 10 in INT and 8 in CHA that gets +2 from half racial for a CHA of 10.
That gives you:
STR12
DEX14
CON14
INT10
WIS16
CHA10
Both builds are alot more optimized for her class and subclass. Shadowheart doesent really come across like a CHA14 character hence why ive given her the CHA stat of 10. She can sort of try to use her charms but she still comes across as cold and calculated, not really CHA14 material xD If they do want to keep that CHA of 14 though they could lower the dex in the first build to 14 to free up the points for that and for the 2nd they could swap strength and CHA stats. Gives her a STR of 8 but again, she should probably focus on DEX based weapons.
