[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7211533, member: 29398"] If you'd read my earlier posts you'd see I'd mentioned that by my numbers starting stats were in general NOT a very good predictor of future career length / success. Maybe so...needless to say, I don't remember exactly how every one of these great many characters was played (the data I was using goes back to 1982 or so). That said, if nothing else it puts to bed the idea of "oh, what awful stats - I'll get it into play then kill it off quick and roll another". It's relevant because it shows stats aren't everything It's relevant because it means we can still have the fun of rolling without worrying about the results quite so much It's relevant because it shows it's not worth getting twisted up over Bob having a point-higher average than you... ...need I go on? And some of us don't get our knickers in a twist over it. Hell, you can have six 18s for all I care - it ceases to matter as soon as the first orc you meet crits all over your face while you can't roll higher than a 3 to hit. Lanefan [/QUOTE]
