[QUOTE="Tequila Sunrise, post: 4845523, member: 40398"] Ah well, I can understand the appeal that HR might have for you. Personally I get annoyed with players who think too much about the 'reality' of their stats, or who try to make every stat super. D&D was designed with certain assumptions about stats, and if my players don't share those assumptions than I'm inclined to think that one or all of us should be playing a different game.
