As a player I generally do not know other players stats and it is their characterizations that matter.So I am fine a with a player of a Str 10 or whatever wizard saying they studied at a classical Greek university and developed both mind and body and are good at discus and describing themselves as having a huge wrestler's physique even though mechanically they have no bonus on kicking in doors or swinging a sword.I have no problem with a player thinking of themselves, and first person roleplaying as, tactical Batman, investigative Holmes, or verbally engaging Cyrano. Those are fun concepts to play or engage with.D&D stats are generally written broadly so you have room to work a lot if you want. Picking one described aspect of a stat leaves a lot of room to not have the others or vice versa.Alternate descriptions forHigh Str: Very effective, I know how to hit harder. I have a supernatural background so even though I don't look super strong, those looks are deceiving.High Dex:Despite my unathletic appearance, I'm really good with my hands.What? All dwarves are acrobats.High Con:I don't look tough, I just never get sick.High Int:What can I say, I'm just really good at wizardry. High Wisdom:How could you not have seen that?I am blessed with divine power.My natural mental defenses are strong.High Charisma:Ugly and abrasive but really strong at magic.Cyrano.Can't persuade or manipulate, but absolutely stunning.</blockquote>
