[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 1510350, member: 3424"] It's just the kind of DM I am. In addition to the atrocious house rule above, in my campaign, characters with low strength get penalties to melee attacks(unless they spend a feat on Weapon Finesse), penalties to melee damage rolls and penalties to skills such as Climb and Jump. Characters with low Constitution get penalties to hit points and Fortitude saves. Characters with low Dexterity get penalties to ranged attack rolls, AC, Reflex saves and a wide variety of skills such as Balance, Hide, Move Silently and Tumble. Characters with low Intelligence get penalised with low skill points and, in a spectacular double whammy, I assign them penalties to certain skills such as Craft, Disable Device, Knowledge and Search, too. Characters with low Wisdom get penalties to Will saves and skills such as Heal, Listen and Spot. Given that I penalize low ability scores so harshly, it's a wonder that I can find anyone to DM at all, eh? [/QUOTE]
