Due to people getting carried away and min/maxing their stats and then not being able to RP them properly I have been forced to make this ruling. It applies across the board. Anybody that has a character prior to this post can continue to play their character but if it is not RP'd well we will make you create a new character and you will start over from level one with that new character. Please, everybody, this is not a server for powergamers and min/maxers if that is your style it is time to leave the world. We are an RP server that has a lot of action but I do not want this world to be the home for min/maxing powergamers.
From this point foward you can no longer have more than one stat below an 8, as well as you can only have two stats of an 8 or less. As well, no stat can go below a 6 and that includes with subrace adjustments so keep that in mind--no exceptions. This means that one stat can be an 8 and another stat can be a 6, or two stats can be an 8 on any single character.
I really hate making this rule as I wanted the players to police themselves but it is crystal clear that a few (and in this case the few ruined it for the many) do not know how to RP their character and continue to try and min/max and powergame. We (the GM team and I) can not catch everybody so the best way to stop this from happening in the future is to just make this rule.

i always felt that rule was necisary and i am glad yo made it
-
Aye, great rule.
-
Yes, it is quite good, as it will make powergamers think a little more before doing it, and since this is a rp server, i see it more than fitting.

Umm I dont mind the rule, but to be quite honest I would like to present this information ( Im not a powergamer, but I could be one if i wanted too, in other words I tend to know the systematics of a game really well, but try not to maximize its potential because that would cheap)
the more you put in a stat the mroe it costs so to max and minimize stats is like almost wasting stat points.
Now on the other hand I do like this rule because alot of people just make characters with 8 charisma. so they would only be allowed to have anotehr stat as 8. Now I personally don't mind the new rule inforced because you realy do not need more than two 8's or an eight and a 6. Although I think we should be able to have an exception and have a stat below 6 as long as we don't have any other stats below 10 ( making it easier for the player to rp focus one major defect, Like a really ugly half giant who isnt really stupid, but everyone assumes he is, or somone who doesnt look bad, but is not gimped in any way except his IQ ispretty low)
so yeah the have one stat below 6 and no other stat below 10 is just a thing to consider.

The rule will be staying as it is. I thank you for your input but I thought about this rule a very long time and this is fair as far as I am concerned.
