[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6770172, member: 15700"] When? You have to be more specific. For most of D&D's lifespan, INT wasn't all that important to anyone who wasn't a Magic User outside of how you roleplay your character. Please refrain from hyperbole. There are still saving throws and skills (and role playing). That's not "nothing". Ah, I see now. You're thinking your personal preferences are objectively true. Common error. For one, lots of people think 3.5 is good (not me, but obviously lots do due to it's continued popularity as a preferred edition). Also, I really doubt "most people" think it's riddled with flaws. No game is flaw free, but riddled? More hyperbole. Firstly, there are lots of reasons not to use that array, which have already been mentioned a million times. Not everyone likes playing that way, and a whole lot of people don't assign stats to maximize their PCs, but assign stats to best support the theme of character they want to play. Secondly, you're contradicting yourself here. One of the best reasons NOT to use that array is for the reason you immediately followed up with. With BA, every stat is important, so using three dump stats with penalties each hurts more than an edition where you have lots of bonuses. [/QUOTE]
