[QUOTE="Darklone, post: 114945, member: 1372"] [b]Contra[/b] Some thoughts about this taken from an earlier thread about a similar thing: - Never give boni to mental stats. The DCs are tough enough. It encourages minimaxing. The corerule books consider most races as equal with different bodies. I'd go with that. You see how many guys play sunelves with Int+2 if they are allowed? Munchkins :] - Con a tertiary bonus for wizards? I disagree. Who cares about AC if you got enough hitpoints to survive?

Who cares if my lvl20 wizard has Strength 6? Who cares if my halforc barbarian has Cha 8 or Cha 6?
