What I'm looking for, is a house rule to fit my gaming style. It may not fit with yours, which is fine.This said, I'll still follow your line of thought.In my games, in a 4-hour gaming session, I'd be surprised if there are more than 1-2 fights. Let's say 2 fights per session, I'll round it up. Out of, say, 10 fights (I'll be very generous here), there may be 1 fight with a creature having an ability requiring a wisdom save. Let's say that, in such a WIS-save fight, a PC in a 5-member party has 50% chance of being required to roll a WIS save (again, I'll be generous). This means that the PC might be required to roll a save once every (10 fights / 2 fights per session * 0.5 chances of being targetted) 5 gaming sessions. This character with a 4 WIS score has -3 on his score. Compared to a PC with a 10 WIS score, he consequently gets about 15% chances more of missing a WIS save, once every 5 game sessions. Don't know about you, but I don't see this as any reason to jump my PC off a cliff.However, This 4 WIS PC is likely to have numerous role-playing opportunities per game session. Every game session. And his 4 WIS score will provide an obvious tangent offered to the player, for the role-playing to be made interesting. That has been my experience.To me, the trade-off is pretty darn good.</blockquote>
