Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 9386940" data-attributes="member: 6801228">Would you accept that, since it is very group dependent, very much like an extreme flex in a video game where you are purposefully making things harder on yourself... that the base game should instead cater more to the group that wants a normal, non-honor mode experience? Like, if you want to play that way, you can play that way. IF a player came to me and said "I want to roll a 1d12 for each of my stats so I have all low numbers"... well, I'd tell them I think it is a bad idea, and that the party might get frustrated with them if they can't contribute, but I wouldn't stop them. You are free to choose that style if you want. But the opposite rarely seems to be true. If I want to play a merchant fighter who starts with a 16 strength and a 16 constitution, despite the fact that the merchant background only allows INT, Cha, and Wis bonuses... that isn't being respected. I'm being told I am wrong, that I'm just a power-gamer, that I'm obsessed with the number 16, that I'm whining instead of accepting that my choices have consequences. No one has ever stated that you can't choose to have low stats. All that has ever been said is that the rest of us don't want that. Play DnD on Extreme Honor Mode if that is your bliss. But let us play the way we want to as well. Stop looking down on us because we are frustrated that our character concepts keep getting limited by mechanics we don't really need.</blockquote>
