Talk:Ugly's Character Sheet

Looking good! Er, I mean, Ugly. -Mattie

Not a huge fan of spending down much below 8 on any stat (partly because my tools requires hacks to have it go down that far). I think 6 will be okay, but let's hope there aren't many Ego Whips thrown around, or you'll fall on your face pretty fast. -Mattie

FWiW, the only reason my strength is 6 is because of racial modifiers. that's eight points worth of six, right there! absalom 11:46, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

Also, FWiW, I could be dreaming this, but I want to say that Pathfinder does something neat IRT this. They start at all 8s thing, but they let you pick one stat that you can drop to 7 to gain one point. I think this is cure because, since there are a total of 5 +1 attributes a character can get (one every 4 levels), there's an odd man out in a world that wants even numbers. This lets someone have a stat where they're truly dreadful if they want and also gives you a couple extra points to use. [1] absalom 12:02, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

And, yes, when we reboot a few years down the road at the conclusion to this campaign, it will be Pathfinder. -gm

Woooo! Pathfinder! Also:

You can buy down to 7, and the step between 8 and 7 gives you 2 points instead of 1. They also made the reasonable change that all stats start at 10 by default, and you get ~10 less points to buy stats with. --Msallen
