[QUOTE="TheLoneRanger1979, post: 6867335, member: 6804148"] After a day or so of further thinking, i came out with another reason i don't like point buy (or lowering some stats to have higher scores in other)..... ever since PB came around (probably around 3E for me), i have never played a character with more then 14 constitution....... at all.... ever.... nor i ever will unless i play a barbarian in 5E, which i am yet to get a good read on. The "optimizer" in me just can't bring himself to "sacrifice" "buy points" (ugh, such gamy terms all of these) for an ability that "matters" less then the "primary" one. I won't go into the whole "dump stat" thingy. Yeah, i can see why some would consider "everyone has an 8 in Int" is bad thing. The only thing with me is i wouldn't call it a "realism thing" but rather an "immersion thing". Does this make me a powergaming hypocrite? I sure hope so. :P Should i go for a pure blood roleplayer and "gimp" my PC's buy "buying" average stats in all abilities? Meh..... can't say......... i'll make sure to tell any of my offspring (if i ever have them) to be very careful how they spend their "buy points" at inception though ;) [/QUOTE]
