Default I put wrong attribute points, keeps bothering me

I listened to the character creation screen before I read the 1999 wiki, and I've pestered multiple players and they said it won't matter between buffs and magical equipment by level 51 because you'll be maxed essentially. Yet it seems the best rogues are barbarians rolling str and sta only.

Can some high level rogue just tell me they made the same mistake and I'll be fine? My woodad elf rogue is now level 15, and I put like only 5 points into sta and str, with rest into dexter or agi I think.

Do you think at this point the maximization matters, and I don't actually truly understand why making a barbarian matters so much, besides seeing one rogue with all this armor on. Aesthetically it looks interesting but ridiculous to see a barb rogue with chain on while sneaking or backstabbing.

Crucify these feelings of shame rogue community. Or make it worse and make me reroll...

Sounds like you went 5 into each of the melee stats. Not a big deal at all really. But since you are only 15 if you are this bothered by it, now is the time to reroll.

Nobody would know if you hadn't of said something.

But yes with buffs and gear it really doesn't matter much. Get a base of 200 to max whatever stat with buffs.

When you see a SHM just politely ask for SHM love and you will see how awesome they buff.

If it really bugs you reroll. 15 is a day's worth of game time.

15 is way more than a day if you're new. I wouldn't worry about it either way. If it really bothers you, go ahead and make a new character. Otherwise just be glad your character isn't a cookie cutter like everyone else.

You're fine. Lower STR just means more room for improvement end game.

At 15 I would reroll.

Barb is simply the best rogue at any stage of the game.

Rogue: 103 STR / 95 STA / 92 AGI / 80 DEX / 70 WIS / 60 INT / 55 CHA / 30 Bonus Points

vs

Rogue: 65 STR / 65 STA / 105 AGI / 90 DEX / 80 WIS / 75 INT / 75 CHA / 30 Bonus Points

Barbarian stats 38 points higher in STR, 30 higher in STA, while only having 13 less agility and 10 less dexterity, thats 55 free stat points .. matters a ton when starting untwinked, and if spent well will still matter a lot at endgame.

Being to use throwing boulders is awesome also.

And look stupid. Stats don't matter on a rogue. Everyone caps STR. The HP difference isn't enough to matter.

Should have put it all in charisma to get best prices while fencing stolen goods. Reroll.

Slam is nice for trying to interrupt casters, but it sounds like you wouldn't like them aesthetically being a rogue. I have had 2 barbarian rogues, a dwarf rogue and currently a halfling rogue. My halfling does just as much damage with his epic as the others did.

I wouldn't let the internet bully you into rerolling. Tough it out, Woody.
