[QUOTE="Theroc, post: 4999827, member: 83115"] If I were given that offer, my first thought would be, "While I can opt for the all 18's, will the rest of the group call me 'munchkin!' if I do it?" I suppose I'm weird, but if someone allowed me to take all 18's in all stats, I'd jump on the offer unless I got the impression it was a, "You can do this, but if you're a 'true roleplayer' you won't!" I'm not implying that was your premise, Crothian, so please don't take it the wrong way. But sometimes I feel that players bias themselves very strongly against those that are willing to take straight advantages like that. Now, generally, I'd likely lower a few to 16 or 14, particularly if I felt like there was pressure to not accept that offer. But I am SURE I could come up with a fun character concept that has an 18 in all areas. "While he's very booksmart and has bouts of sagely wisdom, he is sometimes too impatient to fully think things through" could still be played with an 18 int and wis. It's just not as common. >.> [/QUOTE]
