[QUOTE="tburdett, post: 271053, member: 4714"] [b]Let's follow your logic ...[/b] Let's use your logic here for a moment... <Begin Quote> What I'm saying here is the game is set up to allow for these things. Why not play the game as written? <End Quote> The game also allows you to roll a character who has a 3 in every stat. Do you still defend the idea that since the game allows this it should be played as written? Using your logic a character like this is just as playable and fun as any other! If the player in the original example continued to roll poorly (no better than a 2 or 3) for the next few levels he would approach 10th level with around 50 HP. That number of hit points at that level would preclude him from engaging in combat with any of the creatures that he would normally encounter. Combine that with the Fighters low number of skill points and nearly non-existant class skill list and you have the definition of useless. Here's a question for you! If you are so into playing challenging characters then why don't you voluntarily use the character that I described above? Just put a 3 in for every stat and 'roleplay' to your hearts content!
