[QUOTE="Fredrik Svanberg, post: 4694733, member: 12996"] Perhaps a solution would be to just reduce the number of abilities. Instead of having six of them, just combine Str/Con, Dex/Int and Wis/Cha. Call them Fortitude, Reflexes, Will, to keep things simple. Double the cost for point buy, or halve the points available. You won't get much higher stats but you'll get twice the bang for your buck. For racial ability bonuses, if your race gets one +2 bonus, you get two +1 bonuses to assign as you want (but you can't assign both to the same group). If your race gets two +2 bonuses in different groups, you get +2 to one group and +1 to the other. If your race gets +2 bonuses in the same group, you get +3 to that group. Another option would be to remove race bonuses completely and add a bunch of points for buying whatever stat you want, reducing the impact of race stat bonuses quite a lot. Humans (and other races with a single +2 bonus) could get 4 extra points and races with two +2 bonuses could get 7 extra points. Or something like that, I haven't actually looked into the math.
