[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5824493, member: 56189"] Better yet, give them SIX ability score bonuses, randomly determined between 3 and 18, and start all ability scores at 0! Revolutionary, I say. I think, however, that people who are saying you can roleplay and that having a 16 instead of an 18 are fine are missing the point. I can roleplay with the best of them, and I'd place my life-savings on that fact, but I'm not one of those elitists who thinks roleplaying and power-gaming are mutually exclusive ideologies. I like building well-made, synergistic, powerful characters just as much as I like to roleplay them and in with this in mind, a 16 instead of an 18 DOES matter. It might not matter to you, but then that's what makes the world go around and also a war-torn hotbed of murder, corruption and immorality: people having different opinions :D [/QUOTE]
