[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7077358, member: 6785785"] I think that part of the issue can also come from the fact that many of the stats that are typically maxed are not ones that are actually used by a player during the game. How strong or fast you are in real life doesn't come into the situation at all. But a player can dump Intelligence to an 8, and other than the -2 on some checks, it doesn't really matter that much. The player's own intelligence or skill at playing can more than make up for that. Which may or may not be an issue for some tables. Some people will "play" an Int 8 character that way, and others will play them just as they would any other character. So you could have a situation where the slow guy in the group is actually figuring things out on the reg and leading the party. Some folks won't even notice that, others will hate it. It's really about the expectations of the folks at the table. [/QUOTE]
