We're not rolling for stats, we're using the standard array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8; before racial bonuses). You can put those stats to any ability.

Oh, im sorry, I didnt realize you accounted for that in distribution. I suppose i shoulda put my Intel at +2 as a gnome then.
@Drafter- Gnomes still get the minor illusion cantrip to start right? 🤔

They do. I'll do a bigger post tonight collating all the info.

Earth:

Fog Cloud makes the affected area heavily obscured which blocks line of sight. You can't see into, through, or out of it. Characters in it are effectively blind.
secularmerlin:

What did you have in mind?

Not at all! In fact, each player is allowed a single full or partial re-roll up to level 5. After that you're locked in.

@Earth
Ranger wouldnt be a bad choice either. I can do some healing/buffing as a Bard. I lack ranged combat spells though, so having some sort of ranged DPS would be bueno 🤔
-->
@Buddamoose
Is Ranger better than Wizard?
-->
@Earth
All depends, Wizards can get into enchanting and the like, Rangers can't, but Rangers if i recall can charm wildlife, which is pretty dope
