Hi! New player here -- as in new to the game, not just the site.
I know the problem is usually the other way around, but the last time I talked to our group's DM, he told me that the stats I had selected for my character (a fighter) were much more similar to a wizard, and he advised me to edit them to make them more suitable. I haven't found any way to edit them totally; I can just shift the numbers from one ability to another (such as swapping the numbers for strength and wisdom). Is there a way to edit stats completely if you have the DM's permission?
You should be able to go into the character builder and swap them around freely. If you are doing standard array, I’d say just set them all to the dash, then re-assign them how you like. If it’s point buy, as you lower one score you will be able to raise another. And if they are rolled, you should just be able to go crazy. In each case, make sure you have the proper method selected
And remember you have racial bonuses, usually a +2 to one score and a +1 to another that will be in the mix.
For a fighter, if you’re going with the basic smash bad guys with your sword, put your highest score in str, second in con. Wis and dex both make good cases why they should be 3rd, then the other 4th. Int and cha won’t likely matter too much.

Okay, thanks.
