A friend of mine came up with one of the most memorable characters I've ever seen in a game. Brol, the half-ogre. His Int, Wis, and Cha were all single digits, 8 or lower. He was pretty strong, but nothing to write home about compared to other PCs. But he was very memorable because he was fairly dumb, unperceptive, foolish, and not very articulate. In one situation, while he was on watch, he was approached by the evil priestess we were trying to track down and she convinced him to give her the map we needed to find a great evil artifact. When asked what happened he said:"Brol trade map to pretty lady."     "And what did she give you?""A kiss."     "A kiss!?! You had better have gotten more than a kiss for that map!""... There's more?"Very memorable character with mostly low to mediocre stats. The player found the role he wanted to play and had us enjoying it even though he had done something to hinder our efforts. Good role-playing.I'm not entirely certain that LotR makes a good example of playing high-stat characters unless you're talking exclusively about Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir. The hobbits, arguably, are pretty normal folk. Pippin and Merry, not really standing out in any way by D&D stat terms, could certainly be considered as mediocre-stat characters. And yet, they end up as important heroes in the story.</blockquote>
