Perhaps we need to rethink our NEED for the must-have 18+ STATS early on - leave it for the higher levels or put a level requirement;3. Perhaps we should flatter the bonuses from abilities and increase the proficiency bonus;4. Perhaps we can create a flaw table (mechanical) to play characters/heroes with mechanical flaws instead of creating a dump stat. Many games have such tables.We actually use rule 2 above, where the PCs have now reached 10th level and due to in-game story reasons have the capability to increase one of their abilities to 20 for the first time.One character joined our campaign quite late and I did not give him any magical items, however due to backstory reasons (a Chosen in FR) he was able to increase an ability to 20. So with the above, he may now increase a second ability to 20, should he want to.</blockquote>
