Well, I'm reading a lot of LitRPG stuff. And in one of them, the person thrown into a game world was a beta tester for a gaming company. So she tries a number of things at the charac ter setup screen.
One thing she finds is that while you can't reduce the default 1 point in the various skills and abilities (there are *hundreds of them) if you *add* a point and *then* reduce it, you can reduce it to 0 and get extra points to applies to other things.
So she does that for *everything* except the half dozen of so attributes (Strength, Dexterity, etc). and she adds all those points to Luck.
Which means she has the default rating of 5 in the base attributes, and zero in all the secondary skills. But 7300 in Luck!!!
This makes for a *very* unique character. One that breaks a lot of the system. :-)
She gets thru her early encounters because the monsters die in various unlikely ways when they attack her. and since they were attacking, she gets experience when they die.
At one point she encounters a major boss (Demon Lord who controls all the demons he's been importing to conq1uer the world). He decides she's a danger and tries to kill her. Except by sheer luck a small meteor goes thru his head and kills him.
Which make her the new Demon Lord with control of all the demons. And an insane number of points.
The NPCs (natives) can't do that because there's a timeout on the setup screen, and it gets presented to *them* when they are born. So they can't modify anything until they're a teen and start leveling up. and even then they don't get *that* screen.
