What would happen if your character or your PCs had an 18 in every stat?

[QUOTE="elbandit, post: 1599613, member: 2956"] Yeah, some of us do read this thread but in all honestly my reasoning would seem harsh... but since you asked... I would not want to play in the game primarily because the concept is one that is already overdone in science fiction media. Quite honestly I do not believe that the concept could be kept freash and intreasting enough for me to really enjoy. Having all 18's in a stat would also confuse me on some levels. For one thing having +4 to Stat Bonus to all skill rolls while it may sound great becomes unintreasting, at least to me. The characters should succede at most tasks the majority of the time. The thrill of risk goes away and the game becomes more of a routine task than adventure. Also by not having any real apparent strength or weakness makes it harder for me to decide which feats and items I should really take for the character. Before you flame, keep in mind that I am not someone who likes being a player, I much perfer to be a GM. I am also someone who seeks out concepts that would be compelling and unique for me to play. An generally badly overdone idea simply isn't compelling to me. Yes, I have very high standards but it is no higher than what I expect myself to run. [/QUOTE]
