The rules provide the modifiers, the scores are the bounds in which the player should be considering character options. If not, why bother with scores that define the range of a character's ability ti interact with the world around them? Low str -> weak Low dex -> clumsy, poor reaction low int...

Good demonstration

I'd prefer a player do that; if they don't I'll encourage the behavior in game. Otherwise, let's sut remove INT, WIS, CHA - they're supposed to be bounds

No, but if limitations are being taken to create benefits in other stat choices, shouldn't there be in game resource management? That said, I prefer it when a player sees it as an opportunity to turn those constraints into characterizations

The old relative scale used to be INT*10 = IQ, so yes, there is an implied implication. In other systems, I'd take such a low score as a complication that the GM could create opportunities against. In D&D, especially point buy, what's the point in the stat if their are no in game complications...

It's more alt-tech than a mysterious unknown force

My 3rd choice-hit points

I think that there is the realization that in game play people want to do more than just hit point attrition and the least controversial way of doing that is "spells", because "magic". Other methods exist in other games, but this is simply how 5e handles it

Run for President.

Only one deal breaker: wankers

Doesn't soyund like a rules issue. Have a chat with your DM

Obviously, 5e vampires don't bite you, they gum you until they turn you into a vampire

Love!

As he says .. Ch..ch..changes

Play board games for a while ... A little zombiecide is fun or even a nice long game of talisman. It just sounds like the group is fatigued on 5e.
