Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 5001413" data-attributes="member: 1210">As the author of the quote in the OP, I have to say that I have always found pcs with a low stat to be very fun, both to play and to dm for. Now, I don't think it would be too much fun to play a pc who had a 3, 5 and 6 and whose highest stat was 13- but a single low stat, or a couple of low stats offset by a high stat, or even several low stats offset by a really high stat? Hell yeah, I'm there! In my 3e halfling game, one player wanted to play a kobold and rolled a crap stat... which he put into Str, leaving him (with penalty) with a 1 Str! And it was great! It led to a ton of awesomely fun and hilarious roleplaying moments. I played a character with a Cha 3 in the 2e days, and again, a lot of awesome roleplaying moments. Same with the bard/assassin with a Wis 1 that was in my game back in 2e (the player offered to play a character with a stat of my choice of 1 if I'd let him be a bard/assassin- I still used the 1e assassin in 2e).A lot of it depends on the player's attitude about it- the best attitude is, "How can I make this low stat more fun for everyone? How I can turn up the funny with it?"</blockquote>
