Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanefan" data-source="post: 7273212" data-attributes="member: 29398">For a single character, yes.  For a hundred characters, no.Good point re Con; I suspect low Wisdom would also self-cull to some extent.That said, if the char-gen system can at least vaguely reflect the system used to generate the overall population it becomes far easier to picture the characters as having been drawn from that overall population, and having been part of it during their lives so far. When fantasy elements such as magic are stripped away from the game world, ideally the results would be somewhat similar; giving a solid and believable foundation on which to place the fantasy elements.  And where the results are not similar there would be a clear and reasonable (or at least rational) explanation why; this explanation might be as simple as the DM deciding she wants something to be different in her world (e.g. she wants a clear sky to be orange instead of blue and explains it as caused by a different chemical composition of either the planet's atmosphere or the planet's main light source).After that, all that's needed is that the game world remain consistent with itself.  PC generation methods being in isolation from NPC generation methods violates that consistency.Doesn't matter if the denial is on page 1 or page 100, it's still flat wrong and needs to be challenged.Lanefan</blockquote>
