[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7262975"] No. But not for the "awesome and fun" reason. I say no because they provide a choice. And choice is good in D&D. Also, I don't know why anyone would argue that you may not get smarter, stronger, wiser, more charismatic or tougher as you fight monsters and gain experience. That makes no sense at all because that's how it works in real life. You go to boot camp? You can raise physical scores pretty fast with intense training. You go to college? You can raise intelligence pretty quickly (assuming the person puts in the effort). You travel the world? You can gain wisdom pretty easily. You start taking ballet? You can become pretty dexterous pretty fast with proper training. I have no idea why you would argue that doing exactly the sorts of things that would make you faster, smarter, tougher or stronger would [I]not[/I] make you faster, smarter, tougher or stronger. I don't see your problems with high stats either. The players are noted to be exceptions. They [I]are[/I] Einstein. They [I]are[/I] The Hulk. Just because you're staring at the Avengers all day long doesn't make the Avengers any less of random anomalies when compared to the general population. Statistically most people in the game world are still average. [/QUOTE]
