kinda, probably messed up my initial stats, help?

[orangelife]

So i wasnt sure what stats to add so currently my level 3 paladin has these stats:

STR 90
STA 80
AGI 80
Dex 85

Am I doomed to mediocrity with these stats? Im very new to eq and dont really know if there is a way to increase them or what disadvantages ill have
Thanks

I doubt it's going to make much of a difference in the end. Personally, I always just dump the points in to STA. If you're worried about it, you can reroll and be level 3 again pretty quickly.

Stats are pretty easily compensated with gear.
STA is one of the harder ones to raise as you get higher in level but not impossible.
Personally a good balance (STR and STA) is the way I like to go. Without STR you can't carry any loot or hit as hard.
Thankfully you didn't dump it all into CHA or somesuch.... Did you? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Your stats are fine. Min-maxers advocate all points into STA for every class because it is the most difficult stat to max. However it takes many levels for the additional STA to even become noticeable, whereas that extra str you picked up will serve you through your entire leveling career with less encumberance and greater accuracy. The 80 AGI also ensures that when you do become encumbered, you will not take an immediate bit to mitigation as you would with only 75 AGI.

Human?

If you're concerned, but only level 3, just reroll. Honestly, for your class, beginning stats aren't all that important. As long as you don't dump it into Int or cha, you should be good.

Yeah human

You should be concerned because you didn't pick Dwarf.

Wisdom is also important because that determines your mana pool.

Cha is a bad start? Omg..in the hands of certain players it is one of the more useful stats.

It is useful for minimizing critical failures on lulls, but that is greatly reduced with a cha buff and crude stein (provided you are not an ugly dwarf) and all but eliminated with levels. I would not advocate spending starting points on it for that, since in the end it does not bring that great am improvement to one's quality of life as a paladin.

With Velious around the corner, you can put stats in whatever you want. The gear in Velious is SO much better than vanilla and Kunark in regards to stats.
