I finally managed to convince him to go with a 14 in str, giving him a 16 after racial mods which will work I guess.  He’s pretty set on longsword instead of hammer though since he wants to be more accurate… just not strong and accurate apparently…

Weapon expertise seems futile if he’s that intent on not having a +4 attack stat.  I suggested toughness kind of stuff since soaking up damage doesn’t require accuracy.

Still trying to pull together enough people at the same time to play, maybe sunday night.
