[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 4227869, member: 29398"] Arguably the best character I've ever had - and by far the best I had in 3e - started and ended a 14-adventure career with Wisdom 7. (the rest of her stats were nothing to write home about either - she's about a 19-point buy on the start-from-8 scale, ignoring the 7 in Wis.; net bonus added to +2) She was fun, entertaining, chaotic to a fault...and ended up becoming the senior character in a party of much more stats-capable characters, as well as its loving mother hen. Yet with point-buy or array she'd be illegal. It also depends how you look at stats. I take the 1e approach, where there's really not all *that* much difference between an 8 and a 13...the difference becomes greater and more noticeable as you go outwards from there in either direction, on any given stat. The more extremely removed from the center of the bell curve you are, the more extreme the effects should be...rather than linear. But, 3e went the linear route... Lanefan [/QUOTE]
