[QUOTE="Reprisal, post: 703605, member: 1161"] Instead of thinking in terms of Ability modification, you may want to go the route of cultural differences like skill and feat selection. Most of the reasons for a person being overweight, or emaciated, or [i]whatever[/i] are for cultural reasons. I can tell you now that it's a difference in culture that makes me, a contemporary Native American, much different physically from my ancestors. I don't have to work to survive, and all that jazz. There are some physical similarities like skin pigmentation, hair and eye colour, -- and a certain level of lactose intolerance, I [i]hate[/i] that -- but generally speaking, most of our differences are due to how we live, not how we're born. I approach like any player of the game would. In a point-buy character creation setting, I would sooner put my higher scores into physical stats in a wild and dangerous place than I would in mental stats -- vice versa for an individual in a relatively comfortable culture like the one I live in presently. I guess I figure for a more "Nurture" than "Nature" type person, :cool: - Rep. [/QUOTE]
