What do you see the six stats as representing? Aside from fighting and hit points, I mean. INT, WIS and CHA are mentioned in connection with magic, but do they represent other things. It may have a psychological effect to have an INT of 5, but do you (Eric Nieudan and others) see it as having a mechanical effect?
I honestly like how the roll under system makes low stats more acceptable: they don't penalize you directly, they just make it harder for you to get stuff in their remits done.
ReplyDeleteSure, INT 5 is only a 25% chance to succeed, but it just feels better than having a -2 on a roll.
