[QUOTE="Flynn, post: 3676476, member: 1836"] I would agree with you. I think it is a flavor issue, since the stat is still below 20 in both cases without stat bumping devices. Balancing the system against Saga can be hard, because of the impact that equipment has in D20 Fantasy. In the end, I don't care which way the bump issue goes, but I feel confident that two bumps will not break the system in terms of game mechanics and stat balance. If you use the RAW and roll 4d6, drop the lowest, you could end up with two 18s, which an elven fighter could end up with 20 in both Str and Dex by 8th level without any stat bumping devices at all, and the system still works. Based on that, having two 20s by 8th isn't broken at all. Therefore it is likely that this is going to be a flavor issue only. But whatever is decided should be applied across the board to all core races equally. IMO, YMMV, of course. :) With Regards, Flynn [/QUOTE]
