(the best character I've ever played started with a total of +2)Unless the PC is a rescued prisoner, in which case it sort-of does start in bondage, they usually start as free-willed individuals.  I usually bring them in at either raw 1st level or at a floor which increases slowly as the party gains levels - which means they've had at least some training.As for profound disability, there is a chance via bad luck of having your PC come in deaf, or (as just happened recently) mute, or similar.  A stat of 4 or less in anything other than Cha would perhaps indicate a disability of some sort also.</blockquote>
