[QUOTE="carmachu, post: 4981778, member: 34534"] Well after reading the thread from start to finish, that doesnt seem good enough. I mean, do you stop the wizard/sorcerer with a 20 Int or the Cleric with a 19 wisdom from doing stupid things? I mean their character cant POSSIBLY be dumb enough to do X that stupid, right? Because thats the tone I hear in the thread. Got an 9/8 Int? Sorry cant actually do something intellegent, becuase you character isnt that bright/wise/charismatic...... SO I'm curious if the detractors in the thread hold the other end of the spectrum accountable. *shrug* We have three out of 6 characters with 8/6 stats. Barbarian has the 8 charisma- but he'n not ugly, he's just crass and really doesnt get civilized behavior. But now that he's 9/10th level, he's slowly learning you cant do certain things in a city. Doesnt mean his stat has increased, but he's learned....slowly, and sometimes painfully, certain pick up lines/behaviors are just inapproriate. The dwarf? same stat, but he's played more cranky, and he doesnt like kids of most people in general. And although he's helping the other cleric deal with orphans, he's slowly and painfully learning to deal with people on certain levels. Again, the stat hasnt gone away, but roleplaying wise its getting better. And of course the halfling has a 6 strength. But he too has learned to work through it....mostly after getting wacked a few times on the front lines, and getting something or someone to deal with physical stuf or carrying. Further, I dont know about the rest of you, but I HAVE sat at a table with some characters that the other players are playing with higher stats than the actual player has- brain wise. And let me tell you its no fun to be stuck with some of these dumber than brick players that have great intellegents or wisdom, or suppose smooth charsima....and they cant pull it off. And its real painful when your stuck with a riddle with these folks. I like them as people, but dont give them a riddle for gods sake. [/QUOTE]
