April 11, 201510 yr At first I was a little disgusted by the minmaxing builds, 18 here 3 there blah blah. I have come to realize their efficiency, but they still don't sit right with me. I named my latest party after their statistical shortcomings. Not quite the point of the thread though so I'm spoiler tagging them. Warrior: Velcro Strap (3 dex, can't tie own shoes) Chanter: Walking Apprentice (3 dex, still learning how to walk) Priest: Troglodyte (4 per, nigh blind) Wizard/Druid/Cipher: Brittle Bones/Allergies/Diabetes (4 con) What I was thinking was there should be conversation penalties for having ridiculously low stats too. I'm going to fire up some random scenarios, but I would love to see replies where these are used in real interactions. And if there already is a thread like this, link it to me and I will read with fervor while this one quietly disappears. 18 mig/3 dex Watcher: Give me the rest of the copper or your face gets it. NPC: You fell eight times walking up to me. Watcher: You had your chance. [Attack] NPC: *stands still, but you still trip trying to grab his collar* 3 int archer Party member: Why'd you stop shooting the wizard?! Watcher: Uh? Party member: The sparkly guy. Watcher: New sparkly! Party member: No, same sparkly. Watcher: New sparkly. Old sparkly go away. Party member: No he didn't go anywhere. Party member: At best he was briefly obscured by the warrior. Watcher: He go away. Party member: FFS ACQUIRE OBJECT PERMANENCE ALREADY! 18 dex/3 per NPC: Ah, you want THIS necklace?
