[@The Fated Fallen] Maybe more than 27 just so that you COULD have a higher stats, because thats what adds personality and meat to your characters.

15 IS high. A lot of characters never roll a higher stat than 16, but that doesn't mean your character lacks personality (or meat). It matters more about how they're played

The alternative is just to roll your stats (what a crazy idea!)
