One of my major turnoffs about low ability scores is not winning per se.
For me playing an int 4 character precludes good problem solving. Similarly, a 3 con character would pass out walking down stairs before getting into the dungeon.
As a result, I have not enjoyed how low scores map on the fantasy.
I only have the quick start pack so far, but it appears that shadowdark is just about penalties to rolls. A weaker character might be less likely to force open a door, but not outright excluded from it.
They might lift 100 lbs, but the difficulty is the difficulty. Their penalty means it’s less likely.
Does this sound right? A 5 int has a penalty but does not mean you are barely literate by default. Correct?
