To prevent dumping one or two scores for boosting one or two to max without much penalty, why don't we add 2 ability modifier on most mechanics in the game.1. Melee attacks;Melee and thrown attack roll: str + dexMelee/thrown 1H damage str×2Melee 2H damage str×3Finesse/thrown 1H damage str + dexFinesse 2H damage str + dex×22. Ranged attack;Ranged attack roll: dex + wisRanged damage bow: str + dexRanged damage crossbow: dex3. Spell attack/damage/DC;barbarian(if something comes up): con+chacleric: wis+chadruid: int+wisfighter-EK: int+wismonk: con+wispaladin: wis+charogue-AT: int+charanger: int+wissorcerer: con+chawarlock: int+chawizard: int+wis4.

If we double it will not come even close to +3(unless you play a standard human with 13,13,13,13,13,10 point buy, but this version is aimed at rewarding all around general characters).All we need to do is add +1 to AC/DC(hehe) of monsters if we are too lazy to recalculate DCs with 2 scores included.Same goes for attack and damage rolls. +2 damage for 2H attacksIf monsters are feeling to weak because of little extra damage from PCs, add 1 or 2 HP per HD.PCs have enough HPs right now, even for this variant.</blockquote>
