[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6624345, member: 6787650"] Yes, that can work too. It depends on the DM and campaign style, but in my view there is always a niche for every character, even if that niche is just "the guy who is willing to pull three cards from a Deck of Many Things because he has nothing to lose" and "the guy who is willing to climb into the mysterious machine and press the button" and "the guy who is willing to wade through the waist-deep underground lake with unknown things in it." High-stats guys tend to avoid those kinds of risks IME (because players don't want to lose their outlier) so they don't get the rewards either (roughly paraphrased: "When you wake up from the mysterious machine, you find that you are now a bug man! Natural AC 15 + Dex, and you have no eyes any more; blindsight out to 120' and no vision beyond that radius."). BTW, we are neighbors. I'm in Issaquah. [/QUOTE]
