All those talks about intentional shitty combat

I was thinking about how I've seen many threads, one even started by myself about people wanting to intentionally fail at things and lower their skill by use of the code. How about a way of setting your attributes to reflect this.. maybe your a half giant who doesn't wanna smash the new recruit, or a sergeant who doesn't wanna decapitate the newb with a training longsword.. how about changing your stats? Having the abilitiy to set your strength or agility lower than what it is at.

example,
set strength poor
you begin trying not to be so powerful

set agility below average
you begin slowing yourself down blah blah blah

I don't know, maybe it's the alcohol talking.. but I thought it might be kinda neat.

I'd rather see the ability to do it with skills. A skilled warrior with low strength can still murdalize a 0-day pickpocket on accident. Although, I would love to see the ability to lower your stats. I'm not sure about intentionally lowering wisdom, but it would be nice to be able to put on a weak show.
