Revisionist memory, I guess!

You "might" have been a Min/Max. The 80 point rule was enacted to reduce the existance of Min/Max-ed characters that had been created with the 73 point rule. I don't know if any are still out there. Technically, you could have normal ranks in 5 stats and be a candidate for Min/Max. The Min/Max was defined in some circles as having one stat out of proportion with the others. Thus a character with the following stats would be considered a Min/Max:

Str:23
Dex:10
Con:10
Int: 10
Wis: 10
Cha:10

Five of the stats are at a normal or minimum level in order to maximize the one stat needed for the player to optimize a specific class's benefits. But the other version is true too. lowering stats so low in order to pump up the necessary ones to gain more spells, skills, etc.

I remember in 1st edition when a 24 INT was considered a near god-like stat. They used to call an INT of 24-25 Supra-genius.

I guess Ysang may have a lot in common with Wile E. Coyote....
