    I just rolled my char stats: 18-18-15-14-14-11 I was extremely lucky! after a couple of session (maybe 3 or 4) I realized that his stats spoiled my fun! I had almost no weakness ( I have no
    "-x" in a ability) ( We're still at low level 2-3) and I thinking should I re-roll my stats for "worst" stats, but then I should have more fun what'dya think?

    You can build in your own penalties for the character roleplayingwise. Give him some charactertraits that balance him better in your opinion.

    Give him some bad personality traits. He's known throughout the area as Sir Stick-up-the-a**, or he goes down to the tavern once a week and demolishes it in a drunken brawl. Maybe he worries about his chrisma not being higher and is terrified of being scarred. He's a nitpicky perfectionist and has a fit if everybody else doesn't meet his standards. Take him and have fun. If the game doesn't give you any weaknesses, make up some just for him.

    I think you are right I though of something like that:

    well He came from "good" fammily, not noble but at least rich, his parents believe that he his studying Magic for the last 5 years, but he his wandering the land, pickpocket everyone who has more than three piece of gold... (he his a F/R) yeah that's it he can't pass a day without stealing someone or a month without making a Grand theft, and he his Jealous of or Sorcerer! why he his so charismatic?! (21) (well we all know the answer...)
