[edit] Ability Scores

Shouldn't it be noted that ability scores have been around since D&D's inception? -Jeske ^{(Complaints Hotline)} 12:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I know how you feel and am trying to get people to discuss the bias towards 3rd edition and d20 system and its removal for more general game terms since not every edition allows for reprinting its rules under a SRD or OGL, etc. Just didn't want to delete things or change them completely myself without getting a consensus from the people who created the over 1000 articles on D&D. shadzar|Talk|contribs 13:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strange Claim

"Dexterity encompasses a number of physical attributes including hand-eye co-ordination, agility, reflexes, precision, balance and speed of movement. A high dexterity indicates superiority in all the above attributes, while a low dexterity may well indicate that one of these attributes is superior, but that the others are very poor."

This last claim is illogical and seems like it's biased in a strange way. I can't ever remember reading something like this in any official ruleset. I'm tempted to edit it. --Ifrit 04:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The whole thing is illogical by a game standpoint. How swift you are has no bearing on whether you can cleave someone with a claidheam'mnor. Sounds like OR. -Jeske ^{(v^_^v)} 18:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I took the liberty to edit it away. --Ifrit 02:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
