Indeed it shouldn't be taken too seriously, but I feel more information is always helpful, especially since it is based off the D&D stats and the system, even if simplified. No harm in voicing that.(08-08-2014, 04:12 PM)Meta Xi Wrote: I'd like to be quick to point out that if you choose the low end of stats via the D&D rules, you start to have problems. A combination of poor charisma, intelligence, and/or wisdom effectively means your character would never be able to operate in almost any form of society. More over, once you start running into the 1-3 range, you are on the simplest scale of things. A 1 in charisma means that at maximum, you can interact. However, you would never be able to get your point across, let alone comprehend anyone else's point.This is not exactly a science (nor are D&D stats), just a fun exercise. I don't think I'd worry about it so much!
Be careful if you start tossing extreme numbers around, because if you decide to give a 20 for strength, but balance it with an intelligence that's one point higher than a horse, or a charisma that's a single point higher than an inanimate object, your character is going to end up more like a golem than a living being.
