Shouldn't different parts of your body have different ability scores?

Examples:

High cha face / Low cha body
High str arms / Low str legs
High dex dominant hand / Low dex non-dominant hand
High int head / Low int lower torso

etc.
>>
No, that's stupid.
>>
>>51358236

Shouldn't high STR arms/legs being equivalent to a high CHA body? Same goes for a high CON body.

and what about a high WIS crotch?
>>
>>51358272

It has 'street smarts' and 'pulls back' from 'contaminated caverns'--as it were.

I have high str & con on my dick :^)

Unless you can come with a meaningful, interesting way this would affect a game that's worth the increased complexity, absolutely not.

Baring abuse of things that shouldn't be abused or fleshweaver style absorption, I'd say no

>Low str legs

Are you paraplegic? Legs outstrength arms any fucking day of the week.

Pretty gay desu

Not unless each body part is sentient and acts independently from the rest of the body.
>>
>>51362837

Would that make for a good game?
>>
>>51362934
>group play all different body parts of a single organism
Sounds good
>>
CHA refers to ability to lead, not looks.
>>
>>51359091
I could see maybe penalties for using you non dominant hand in combat.
>>
>>51363194

Body parts can exude personal magnetism.

... she has six fingers per hand at the end there.

>>51358236
Shadowrun does it on implants, and it is somewhat of a clusterfuck (use limb stat when you use that limb, average it for all your limbs when you don't, rounded down).

We don't need things to be this complicated. Especially with mental stats in non-mental body parts.
>>
>>51363210
A lot of systems already have something like that, which is why "Ambidextrous" is a common Feat/Trait/Edge for character options. For the rest of your body I think it's assumed that your Strength is automatically a culmination of all your limbs, which makes sense because you often need to use your legs when lifting something heavy with your arms. If a limb gets chopped off, take a point of that attribute off a call it a day.

I've seen stuff like >>51365674 in Shadowrun and Traveller and it just becomes a headache to deal with, especially if your arms have different stats but you're using both to swing a weapon or something.
>>
>>51358236
Every game strikes a balance between realism and playability, and having specific stats for each body part sacrifices way more playability than is gained in terms of realism.

It would be relative to the strength of normal legs.

For instance, a curlbros arm strength would overshadow their leg strength.

>>51358249
Isn't that how it works in Dwarf Fortress?

>>51367384
Nope. Dwarf fort autistically tracks medical information for every part of the body, but your attributes (all two dozen of them are so) are applied uniformly across your whole person.
