Topic: Stat sequence: rhyme? reason?
A friend was telling me his idea for a system that lets you arrange the order of your stats before rolling them up (and gave different dice to each stat), and, regardless of what I think about the idea, we got to talking about the traditional D&D running order for stats, and wondering about the effect of putting the physical stats up front, following with the "smart stats," and ending with CHA. What if CHA had come first for all these years? Etc.
Is there any particular reason the ordering of stats in LotFP deviates from the traditional D&D running order?
