[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 1039802, member: 5834"] [b]re[/b] Why would you want to play average in a Role Playing Game? I am better than 28 or 32 points right now with no magic items and minimal training. Why the heck would I want to play someone that is not on par with my own capabilities? There are extraordinary people in the world that truly exceed the 28 or 32 point buy. I find it sad that humans such as yourself sell us short when there are living examples of people with extraordinary capabilities all around. How many times must I continue to name people capable of pressing 300 plus lbs over their heads with IQ's over 150 before you realize that your view of the world is not factually the right one. Some of us realize that truly extraordinary human beings exist. That in an adventure game, we would prefer to play such individuals rather than Joe Average or Joe Above Average.

The very best would also exceed 14 in Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma as well which would show their ability to play the game intelligently and intuitively as well as leading their team proving their charisma. The best human beings are the best human beings. They are far better than the majority of people out there. They far exceed 32 points.
