Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celebrim" data-source="post: 6737164" data-attributes="member: 4937">IIRC, Raistlin has like an 10 con.  His player at the table basically invented Raistlin's personality, and consequently his portrayal in the novels once it was decided to throw out the contracted novel and let Tracy and Laura novelize the modules.  The player interpreted the average con to be an inherently broken and unhealthy man who was being sustained by continually by magic.  In effect, he's played as a 6 CON with a +5 enhancement bonus to CON.  This is actually appropriate, because though he's played sickly, we basically never see that matter at a time it would matter in the story.  It's played as color.   Likewise Raistlin has a 10 charisma, which is played as a disturbing caustic man who nevertheless has great personal magnetism.  What we can see here is a player that dislikes thinking of his characters as being in any way average and drab, even when the stats are drab.  And that's ok.The lowest stat in the party is Flint's 7 Intelligence.  This is barely played out in the story IMO except for the fact that Tasslehoff always gets the better of him. Tasslehoff incidently has a 9 Intelligence and a 12 Wisdom.   I'd actually peg the way Tasslehoff is presented as actually relatively high intelligence and abysmal wisdom, that is, he can intellectually understand things but not actually feel them.</blockquote>
