[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6935936, member: 15700"] I've played a lot of 3d6 roll in order games. Therefore, I've seen a lot of PCs with their prime stat be pretty low. And not once was it a major impact for me if another player had a low prime stat. It might have been more difficult for that magic user with a 10 INT to learn new spells, but it wasn't super major. Then again, we never approached the game in a "let's just move from encounter to encounter" way either. AD&D doesn't allow that, because you would die all the time if you did. You used the environment to your advantage as much as you possible could. For example, in ToEE, if you treated it like I see how most people play 3e or especially 4e, you'd have a really hard time surviving. Rather, you would leverage the various cults against each other to weed each other out. Not everything with stats needs to be killed. I seriously will never understand this attitude by some people that unless you have a max'd or near max'd PC, they are an active detriment to the party. There's so much more that goes into a game outside of D (dpr, what where you thinking?) measuring contests. [/QUOTE]
