[QUOTE="Styracosaurus, post: 5397451, member: 1977"] Low stats can be fun, but typically players become dissatisfied with playing a character with such a handicap. Too dumb to perform addition? Too dumb to contribute to solving a problem? Too dumb to avoid walking into obvious traps? Too dumb to avoid being easily duped out of your money? So dumb that you blunder around, never learning from your mistakes? So pathetic that people just feel bad for you and avoid you? Low stats without a penalty should be avoided. In a dice game the math is important and there needs to be penalties or else other players feel cheated. My experience has been that a player who wants to manipulate the stats also wants to outshine other people at the table. That is bad. If a player just wants to be better than everyone else, then it is not going to be a fun gaming experience while he sits at the table. There is just no way around that. [/QUOTE]
