[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 3333688, member: 2"] Back in 2e, one of my players had an idea for a human magicuser. He rolled his scores and rolled really well, between 14 and 18... except for constitution. For Con, he rolled a 4. "All I can be is an elf!" he complained. "Every other race has a minimum con I'd need to meet, and it's higher than 4!" It was great to see him roleplay it, though; he stayed in the back and took pot shots at things. In 7 levels, he got into melee combat [b]once[/b] - at which point he fumbled. After one fight that left him badly injured, he cursed the Gods. "I dare you!" he screamed at the sky. "If there is any God out there that will help me, I will worship you!" And the next morning he woke up with an 18 con. Problem is, the God was a whimsical god of practical jokes. The mage found this out the hard way when he took one point of damage, and his con dropped back down to 4. As soon as he was healed? Up to 18. Even slightly hurt? Down to 4, usually with some dry heaving in the process. He'd yoyo, and it made him even more paranoid than previously. [/QUOTE]
