[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5980136, member: 9037"] I don't buy this argument at all. I have a player in my game who is in a wheel chair he often plays rogues and loves to tumble should I say to him no you can't because in real life the only tumbling you do is if someone pushes you out of your chair? There should be a mechanics to allow people to play different types of characters this is a game and it is supposed to be fun. I never seen skills stop role paying what they do is allow the DM a tool to help players with social skills. I really disliked back in the old days the player who was naturally charismatic being able to use charisma as a dump stat and yet outshine everyone else at the table. Especially players who wanted a charismatic PC and had actually put a decent roll into the stat the same with intelligence there was always one at the table who was a expert in everything and even though he had a 5 intelligence he never let him stop from knowing what the monsters did figuring out the puzzles. Skills can help stop this and even the playing field. If we are not going to have skills then I say just dump all the stats for it because they don't matter. Why do we need an intelligent stat for anyone who is not a wizard. [/QUOTE]
