Message: <blockquote data-quote="Buugipopuu" data-source="post: 5811603" data-attributes="member: 41173">Raw scores being used for more than just prerequisites is something I support.  Things like PF's use of raw Con as the buffer between unconsciousness and death, rather than flat -10s in 3.x.Ability increases by level are fine, but 3.x could be improved on since going from 17 to 18 is quite expensive at chargen (either in terms of actual points or luck), but going from 17 to 18 at 4th level costs as much as going from a 10 to an 11.  Just making level-up bonuses have the same price:benefit curve as point buy (even if you're not actually using point buy) should slow ability score bloat (and make buying an 18 at chargen less important).No.Different species have totally different standards of beauty, which makes a universal beauty stat pointless.  Nothing short of a Glamer spell should make you more attractive to everyone.  Either you have dumb situations like the following:"The Gibbering Mouther attempts to seduce you.  Unfortunately for you, it's a damn sexy Gibbering Mouther, and has Comeliness 20, and rolls a 25.  You want to do horrible indescribable carnal acts with it."Or you have equally dumb situations where orcs, because they're unattractive by human standards, somehow find humans more attractive than other orcs, which isn't how species work.Alternatively you have a zillion Comeliness circumstance modifiers in a giant grid for inter-racial interaction, which is too rules-bloaty even for me, and I love rules bloat.</blockquote>
