[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 6628363, member: 545"] My personal experience is that even basically honest and good guys may tell you things that turn out to not be true, because the unofficial rules and ritual are hard to describe. So, indeed, I once ended up playing under a different set of rules, to my great disadvantage, though I do not think anyone did that to me on purpose. Here is an example of the kind of thing I am talking about... I am finding your point of view confusing, Crothian. If you are a roll with the punches and roll with the rolls kind of guy, is me "hang[ing] back and see[ing] what way will be the most advantageous" something worth worrying over? It seems very inconsistent, but I might be missing something. Is there some specific scenario you have in mind? Is it really a bad thing if I just wait to see and ask the DM for averageish stats, after the other data points are in? Sure, other players might want in on that action, but that does not seem like a problem to me. [/QUOTE]
