[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 5801123, member: 63508"] I believe PC should be able to train their abilities. Just as real people can increase their strength and smarts via training. Old school 1e no increases made no sense to me. 3e was sort of okay but it was too freeform. And 4e, too much. I would have them tied to class, slightly to race, with a minor free point here and there. Then have a cap on Ability Mod. I'd go 4th, 5th, 8th, 10th and 12th. At 4th, 8th, and 12th, you can increase an ability by 1. But it can't be your race's penalty ability unless it is your classes primary (so no +1 Str to Halflings unless they are fighters or paladins). At 5th and 10th, it is your free choice with no restriction. But the highest Ability modifiers would be (let's say) +6 because after 22, modifiers don't increase. So Half orc fighters will get to the Str cap fast but other race class could get there easy too. [/QUOTE]
