Were it my game, a player who wanted to have a very low stat would have to give me a good in-game roleplaying reason for it, and I would probably let it happen if they did, but I would also try to make sure that the handicap was as much of a problem as the benefit in other places. I do think there are some very interesting roleplay aspects that could come in. A character who is very low str, who has the fighter carry him on his back when climbing. A character who has a low con, and who always looks for salves and tonics to help keep him healthy. Low dex can be the classic clutz. Low int could be someone with a great memory, but who cant figure things out with alot of help. Low wis could be... well most characters <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=":)" /> Low cha could be Gregory House.  So, I dont have any real problem with the occasional 6 tho I doubt I would go lower, as long as the players realise that I will use it as a plot point in play.</blockquote>
