Let's see there was the druid with the tiger companion and the ability to cast in wild shape and the wizard who was untouchable because of his choice of spells and who yeah the paladin/cleric who had higher stats than I did and they all had the  ability to cast magic in a low magic game.Yeah there were times I was overshadowed and not able to keep up because I had no magic.This is such a whine that I only hear on this board oh your stats are better so I can't have a good character. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> I have played in a game where I was the only character with stats in the 20s everyone else had stats much higher yet my character which I played for three years ended up being the driving force behind the campaign. Maybe this works for us because we understand that the game is supposed to a cooperative game so we don't have characters that step on other character feet. Sure my fighter was smart and a leader but the paladin was the face he was accepted everywhere because of his paladinhood my knight on the other hand was not because she was a member of the royal family of Kalamar and some of the countries we traveled in were at war with Kalamar. Neither the player playing the paladin who also took the leadership feat or myself ever felt like we were in competion with each other we worked together to meet the party goals.None of us would ever make a character that took something away from someone else's character so for us it is not about how high someone else's stats are. We have good DMs who make sure everyone gets a chance in the spotlight. We are aslo role players and character backgrounds and role playing are just as important to us as mechincal aspects of the game.Maybe this is why a range of stats has never been an issue in our games.</blockquote>
