It's also an endless D&D discussion about how to RP your stats with charisma being the middle point of heated arguments.
Now we can all imagine how it is to be stronger/faster and have more endurance.
Though grasping the concept of charisma/intelligence and wisdom is another beast.
In a game like D&D they tend to make out say 30 wisdom as very wise or 30 intelligence as a genius.
Which in case you aren't it means you are not rping your stat.
The way around it is simply playing along with it and making the rest RP more stupid than they are, this is a lot easier.
In my eyes there is no real difference between a 20 or 30 charisma/wisdom character aside from mechanics.
Which leads me to say that stats aren't all that important for RP quality.
Up to the point where I found a site with where some one was using these basic rules sets as DM and truth be told it makes sense.
While it won't make the person wiser for example it does allow you as rper to put him in that roll by providing extra information.
I’ve heard a lot of interpretations of ability scores. The most common of these is “Charisma correlates strongly to good looks”, which is incorrect and tends to irritate players of low-Charisma characters, but anytime there’s something the stats don’t cover explicitly (like weight and build), we try to draw conclusions about them based on the hard numbers we have. The problem is that this still leave a lot to interpretation. What’s the actual strength difference between a person who can lift 80 pounds and a person who can lift 100 pounds? How tough is a bard with Constitution of 14, really? What does it mean for my character when I roll poorly and have to drive the 3-Charisma barbarian?
I put together this list a few years ago to try to put this in simple language.
