Flaws come with a benefit, but there are definitely some flaws greater than others. The character is basically all about intrigue, and would be quickly beaten in any physical confrontation. Similarly, in our Serenity game, my doctor was pretty pathetic outside of his specialty. In general though, it's been in games where combat is a small enough factor that you can be a non-combat specialist. I did have one character in a 3.5 game though that, stat was, was Mr. Mediocre, with generally 14's in most of his stats. A Bard that was literally "Jack of all trades master of none" considering his bad stats. However, between a cool magic item and the Chameleon paragon path, he was still pretty awesome actually. Even on a few occaisions when he didn't get a chance to set his 'classes' he was able to use his whip to trip some pretty big monsters. So I haven't really had apparent losers so much as people that were extremely specialized leaving gaping flaws elsewhere.</blockquote>
