[QUOTE="SlagMortar, post: 3538613, member: 24821"] I agree with everything you said. None of my LEW characters has an 18. I was introducting the 30 point buy with restrictions as a compromise, but I'll gladly withdraw the idea. You've pretty well showed why I like cohorts with 25 point buy even better than the 30 point buy with restrictions. The difference between a 16 and an 18 is the same as the difference between a 14 and a 16. You can make perfectly effective, well-rounded characters with 25 point buy if you keep the highest stat of 14 or 15. Providing something more than that is keeping survivability the same while increasing the cohort's power in her niche. In my opinion, that is undesirable. This actually illustrates my objection very well. Hermione is not a cohort. A cohort can have an 18 intelligence, but she should have other fatal flaws (pun intended) that make her a cohort and not a main character. In my opinion, a strong, survivable adventuring wizard with that kind of book smarts should be a PC in LEW. [/QUOTE]
