[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9396483, member: 6801228"] Our current game with my Trickery Domain cleric, the DM insisted we roll for stats. Most of us rolled nothing lower than a 12, the person playing the princess whose kingdom we are trying to save rolled two 18's. That same princess is rage-filled, grieving and impulsive. She has often rushed into fights against her enemies dragging the rest of us into additional conflicts. She has made a deal with a mysterious dark entity, and most visions of the future we have been given have the "bad end" not be that the BBEG wins, but that the princess turns into a bloodthirsty tyrant who has given into her rage and begins ruling with an iron fist. Somehow, despite having incredibly high stats.... none of our characters seem to lack flaws to play off of. My cleric whose lowest score is a 12 Charisma is indecisive, a bit self-loathing, and is struggling to be the moral compass of the party, since he is the faith leader of the group. I don't know the other people's scores by heart, but... well everywhere I look in that game, I have to wonder why people think that characters with high stats have no flaws. We are ripe with flaws. And this game is also the one where we have nearly TPK'd multiple times, despite supposedly being incredibly overpowered mary/marty sue/stu's with no flaws. [/QUOTE]
