One was a Rhenee fighter (read thug) that I played in a second edition Greyhawk campaign, He was incrediblystupid and died in his first or second session, but he was quite entertaining during his brief life.The second low-stat character that comes to mind is one that I am playing right now. She actually started out with great stats- some of the best rolls I have ever had. Caprice started life as a young, physically fit wizardess. her only real fault being a low wisdom (9). In any case, she crossed the wrong professor at her wizards school and was transformed into a "drudgethrall". Basically, this entailed having her strength, dexterity, and charisma reduced to 8. It also stuck her with a hunchback and a clubfoot which reduced her movement to 1/2 and makes running impossible (she can still hustle for a double move- which lets her keep up with other party members who are walking normally for short distnaces). She has been an absolute blast to play. Despite the fact that she was completely useless at her lower levels, she progresed to a point of actually being useful to the party when she gained second level spells. I'll be playingher for teh first time with third level spells tonight. Very excited.So, the point of all of this is that I believe both high and low stats can be fun, so long as they fit with the character concept.</blockquote>
