[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8382722, member: 7025508"] Yeah, I've been thinking about this a lot but unfortunately I don't have obvious solutions. I would really like to get rid of laser focus on singe stat. At the same time, I don't think it is necessary or even desirable to have every stat to be equally good for every class; certain capabilities are more relevant for certain jobs. I also really don't like lessening the verisimilitude. If we're going to do that, then just get rid of ability scores altogether, as they no longer serve a purpose for me. This is why I really didn't like 4e approach which was basically heading into 'use whichever, it doesn't really matter' territory. Also, when discussing this there is a difference between what would work and what can actually happen. Like I fully agree that reducing the number of ability scores, redefining them and perhaps changing their names would help. But that is absolutely never going to happen in official D&D. But if we're just talking about housererules/making our own fantasy heartbreaker then of course it is an option. [/QUOTE]
