In some role playing games you get a certain number of stat points, and may distribute them as you wish. the reasonable way to do this is often to put a few in everything, with a few more in what you want to focus on, and a few less in whats not important (give a wizard more inteligence with a lower than average strength).
However you can often make an interesting charactor by takeing nearly all the points from one statistic makeing you useless in one area but extrodinary in another. instead of a wizard who is just blow average in strength and above average in INT, you make one that is nearly without strength to the point of being unable to move, and putting all the points in INT so that they are a great intelect.
what are some examples of people that could be described in these terms? haveing charactor that is profoundly lacking in one area, but made up for with an equal increase in another feild.
for example
Steven Hawking CONS,STR,DEX -> INT
hes possibly the smartest man alive, but all his other stats are extremly low.
Paris Hilton INT -> CHARISMA
her hotness is matched with her dumbness
any other good examples you can think of? people that have apparently totally scarificed some atribute to boost another in an equal amount? use whatever RPG style stats you want, some common ones are:
STR: physical strength
INT: inteligence
CONS: constitution: health, resistance to illness and pain
DEX: speed
CHAR: charisma: combination of good looks and likeablity
LUCK: luck
WIS: wisdom: intuision, common sense, good decision makeing
feel free to use other stats if you think of a good person who seemingly pumped it up at the loss of another atribute of their personality/body
