[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7932763, member: 6855204"] Stats mean more than just having a -4. They’re supposed to represent something about your character. 10 is supposed to be the average person. To make things more clear, let’s go by this chart, which I have shortened to only the relevant numbers: Strength 2-3 (–4): Needs help to stand, can be knocked over by strong breezes 10-11 (0): Can literally pull their own weight 18-19 (4): Can break objects like wood with bare hands Dexterity 2-3 (–4): Incapable of moving without noticeable effort or pain 10-11 (0): Capable of usually catching a small tossed object 18-19 (4): Light on feet, able to often hit small moving targets Constitution 2-3 (–4): Frail, suffers frequent broken bones 10-11 (0): Occasionally contracts mild sicknesses 18-19 (4): Able to stay awake for days on end Intelligence 2-3 (–4): Barely able to function, very limited speech and knowledge 10-11 (0): Knows what they need to know to get by 18-19 (4): Very intelligent, may invent new processes or uses for knowledge Wisdom 2-3 (–4): Rarely notices important or prominent items, people, or occurrences 10-11 (0): Makes reasoned decisions most of the time 18-19 (4): Often used as a source of wisdom or decider of actions Charisma 2-3 (–4): Minimal independent thought, relies heavily on others to think instead 10-11 (0): Capable of polite conversation 18-19 (4): Immediately likeable by many people, subject of favorable talk [/QUOTE]
