Metagame considerations needn't be taken into account for proper roleplay. If I wish to play my Strength 3 character as someone who goes around trying to prove how strong he is by attempting to open stuck doors and lifting heavy objects, telling me I shouldn't or can't do that because of a score on my character sheet is asking me to use metagame knowledge when I decide what my character is trying to do. The truth is the rules of the game allow my Strength 3 character to lift any object that weighs up to 90 pounds without any chance of failure. Imposing restrictions on my character's ability to attempt Strength-based tasks goes beyond the RAW in a way that I feel detracts from the game. I agree that what you said sounds dumb, and I think now I've explained to you why it's completely missing the point of what I said. A PC's awareness of his/her own limitations is a roleplaying choice that is best left up to the player. Yes, it is. Maybe you just don't know what metagaming means.Thanks for the laughs everyone. Keep 'em coming and pretty soon I'll get to eleventh level. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
