[QUOTE="Horwath, post: 8195615, member: 6801299"] [USER=71699]@clearstream[/USER] I would not change the price of abilities, that is racial boosts disguised by another name. I would however , as an option put maximum and minimum STARTING scores that HAVE to be taken for certain races. I.E. human, nothing Elves: min dex 12, max con 14. wood elves min str 10, min wis 10. High elves min int 10. Half elves: min dex 10 Dwarves, min str 10, min con 12, max dex 14, max cha 14 Orcs, min str 14, min con 12, max int 14, max wis 14, max cha 14. half orcs: min str 12 this will not give any penalties to buying abilities and if chosen will keep certain stereotype for races. You can still have max ability 20 even if your starting max is 14, it will just take you one ASI more(or 4 class levels) or limit all scores to 18 so every character can max primary stat at 8th level if they wish to focus on it, even with racial "penalty" [/QUOTE]
