>But they could?
If you want this conversation to be civilized - I have to ask you to stop using the effeminate faggy passive-aggressive "Using a statement as a question" mannerism. I won't storm out or anything, I'll just stop being friendly.
Something I want to clarify is I poorly worded that sentence. They usually don't allow you to have even one of your stats at maximum AT THE BEGINNING. It could have been extrapolated from the rest of the paragraph, but I'll clarify anyway.
They COULD, theoretically, allow such a thing, but practically, I can scarcely see a system that both engages stat progression properly and allows for these stats to meaningfully reflect the character's nature.
>Why?
You have the answer in the second sentence. While I'm not willing to cease a constructive conversation over hostile mannerisms, I will cease a constructive conversation if one of the sides outright refuses to read.
>Functional intelligence is also a product of exercise, diet and a million other things.
Mostly a technicality mentioning very subtle improvements, if not outright dogshit pseudoscience.
>most people cannot train their way to a 600 pound bench press or a 2:15 marathon.
Which only serves to support my stance on static stats. If a 1 STR guy in an RPG cannot guzzle protein shakes until he's 10 - that sounds like something that should be conveyed by a static stat system.
