A wizard/sorcerer/psion, etc. could do their mechanical support spell role just fine with 8s in every other stat. (They would be frail but a magic missile is a magic missile). So an 8 point point buy can still make a fairly viable character. And even a fighter with all 10s could do a decent job as a warrior relying upon heavy armor and shield or as an archer even if not up to the standards of most comparable level D&D combatants and with fewer feat options.Many classes would do more poorly mechanically with generally low stats, monks and paladins come to mind in particular as they have so many class powers and features dependant on stat bonuses.However a campaign can work just fine with low stat npc class characters (think CoCd20 in a fantasy world) or with high stat gestalt heroes as long as the DM takes that power level into account.</blockquote>
