I want a way below average PC. (DND 3.5 or 5e)
For the longest time I've wanted to play a very below average witch (read sorceress). What do I mean way below average? So weak that her punches heal, so feeble that she never gains more hit points (or even losses them at level up), so clumsy that she could miss the broad side of a barn (ok, I could compromise with this one, if only to aid survival), so dumb that she can barely speak, so shy that her spells are ridiculously easy to resist (Unless we are in 3.5/Pf, in which case it would have to be barely enough charisma to still get to cast some spells, but if 5e, then it could be dumped too) and just having some degree of wisdom (if only so she isn't suicidal)
My inspiration is basically Elan from the order of the stick, more like the Elan in the early strips, a very useless adventurer that still wants to go and do good and somehow finds a way to still contribute. Also because I have problems identifying with a character that is too well-rounded and essentially larger than life I would like to try to play with a character that isn't really special in that way.
There is no official way in the rules to get scores this low. So if any DM out there has a spot for me and decides to humor me in this, it would be quite nice.
In short I'm thinking of: Str 3, Dex 12, Con 4-5, Int 3, Wis 12-14, Cha 12 in 3.5, Str 3, Dex 12, Con 2-3, Int 3, Wis 12-14, Cha 12 in PF, or Str 1, Dex 14, Con 1, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 7 in 5e. (The differences are mostly because in 3.x you need Int 3 to have a class at all and some main cast stat to cast spells at all. More Dex in 5e because monsters hit harder there and I want hard mode, not impossible mode)
So does anybody out there think there's room for this character to exist?
Edit: Oh and small party please.
