Suggestions: Stats

(The poor strength elf ranger who can't use any bow, the half-giant magicker who has too little mana, and that's about it.)

I once had a half-giant magicker with too little mana.  I dropped a friendly E-mail to the staff and within my first three hours of playtime my wisdom score was increased to exceptional.

If your stats make your concept unplayable, then E-mail the staff and ask for them to be modified.  If the staff refuses then in all likelihood it's only because your concept is ridiculous.

Players are already min/maxing characters they create LoD. That's why you get a slew of 35 year old dwarves. And so on. Trying to make the best combonation for the best stats they can get is not that hard already. It's not being able to play a character realistically because the stat rolls are inefficient and unrealistic.

What? They picked the middle of the life span because that is when everything is normally at it's best. The prime years.

Other then that, I have no clue what you are talking about.

Oh and Jstorrie. No need to be rude. He is saying his opinion. He wants certain things. You want certain things, he responds to things he likes or doesn't like. Just like you. He is just more vocal about it.

Someone (often YOU) will say 'I want control over my stats because so-and-so can't do X!'

No. I just want my stats to fit my character. That's all.

As it is I know that people suicide because of bad stats and eventually stick with characters that have good stats. It's really not hard to do so.

Let me tell you a story. Let me tell all of you a story.

I was young, made my second character, and first after a looong absence.

I was silly enough to write into his sdesc that he was burly.

He ended up with a really nice agility roll and a low strength roll. Totally playable as a quick and agile warrior, but that wasn't his sdesc or his character concept.

So i emailed the mud. I told them what happened. They said, "Ok." and dropped my beautifully high agility down and upped my strength and equal amount.

I ended up being mostly average in both stats, instead of super bad ass in agility and sucky in strength. But , i matched my sdesc, and i was pleased.

The moral of the story is: DON'T MAKE A CHAR CONCEPT BASED ON A HIGH STAT ROLL.

the other moral is:
THE IMMORTALS ARE YOUR FRIENDS. IF YOU ARE NICE AND REASONABLE, THEY ARE TOO.

the final moral is:
STATS ARE FINE. GO HOME.

p.s.

those people are stupid twinks. tell them to go play aardwolf. Stats don't matter that much if you're roleplaying.

p.p.s.
if stats do impact your roleplay, talk to the immortals and they can help you, as in the above post.
