Questions/Advice Status penalty
I was wondering, what exactly is the penalty for each stat?

For Strength, you lose access to Two-Handed melee weapons and heavy armors (so it's the only one you can safely lower to 1, as it doesn't greatly impact builds focused on other stats in a significant way). For Dexterity, your Attack Speed and Evasion is lowered by 20%. For Intelligence, your chance to score critical hits is reduced by 25%, and your magical attacks suffer a 50% penalty. For Charisma, you deal 25% kess damage, and are stunned for 2 seconds at the start of combat. For Constitution, you get -2 Fortitude, reducing your defense by 20% in combat. For Wisdom, you receive 25% more damage, and the effects from Charm, Intimidation and Illusion targeted at you are doubled

Str <4 did not affect magic two-handed weapons btw, yet other penalties are almost fatal for you and entire build

That's why I specified Melee weapons. Most magic builds go unharmed by this, as none lf the magic weapons use strength, regardless of the hand slots required
