[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8406425, member: 11"] I mean, if everyone is cool with everyone having all 18s, then go for it! But generally, we imagined our characters whole-cloth and thought, for example, "Well, she is stronger than average, but not [I]that [/I]strong, so let's say 13. She is very agile and good at jumping around acrobatically, so let's say 17 Dex, but she fatigues easily and had a childhood illness that she recovered from, but it left its scars, so let's say 9 Con, and so on. . ." In this case, the social contract was that we'd all choose that way and without having to say it, we all knew that someone who picked all 18s or whatever would be looked at askance. 🤷‍♀️ [/QUOTE]
