Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wolfen Priest" data-source="post: 298432" data-attributes="member: 3909">I'm sorry; I guess I meant to be saying that all along.  Not that variability is bad, just that the rogue has more options when it comes to assigning stats, since DEX is his only really necessary one.Just because they are not 'dump stats' doesn't mean everyone is going to want to put a good score in them.  It involves choice, just as it does now with the supposedly 'dump-stat' CHA.Regarding that aspect, yes.IMHO, that is more of a character concept than something that needs be represented with 'stats.'Again, in game terms, I think we are talking about character concept here, rather than something that requires a rules change.  If you want to play a beautiful airhead, so to speak, then simply give the character a lower charisma.  I'm trying to say that such a person would either have a low, or high charisma, and one score will adequately depict such a character concept.I would tend to disagree with you here.  Studies have shown that regular excercise promotes long life and healthy living.  If you can't climb a flight of stairs, chances are you can't fight for a long time without being tired out (and worn out).I don't think they should be separate; in fact, I think perception and intuition probably are related, depending on how you define perception, I guess.  Hearing and Sight, ok, fine, those don't have much to do with the mind, but rather are physical aspects of the body.  However, perception can be comprised of more than these.  In any case, I don't think a person should be forced into a character concept like poor sight because of Wisdom, or any stat.  It is a game, but I'm trying to explain that I think the physical (and therefore very imprtant in a game like D&D which revolves around combat more or less) characteristics that involve (a)throwing a rock at an enemy and (b) doing a backflip off the prow of a ship are different enough to warrant separate attributes.  And since they both affect the most imprtant aspect of the game (and that which the rules revolve around), i.e., combat, I think it's worth taking into consideration. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
