I believe that bastards get half of their father's stats...which I'm not too sure how much I agree with considering how successful some bastards were. Though these would be the exceptions to the rule and certainly not the standard it seems like making them all uniformly bad is ignoring at least some historical precendent. The fact that they generally can't inherit is bad enough from a gameplay stand-point...I don't think they need to be further decreased in value by being consistently lackluster.
