[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 6330580, member: 14506"] I think it will break the rules. But... if you institute players must select the +1/+1 to two stats instead of the +2 to one, then it is doable... like I mentioned upthread. The fighter gets 7 stat pumps so could wind up with a 24 (with the right race selection), but that is a fighter. A 24 STR, DEX, or CON is not that bad in the basic game. It adds a little bit to hit and damage per round. A rogue could wind up with a 23 DEX. A Wizard or Cleric could wind up with a 21 (there are no +2 INT or WIS races). Note also that this will delay the higher stats earlier in the game due to the +1/+1 and not +2. Good luck with it. You could say this is the penultimate ability of humanoids. The gods set in their creation plan all humanoids can only be so strong, bright and so on. That measurement is the stat of 20. If you want a more organic explanation, you could say everybody is a little different really and a 20 is just how effective you are at stuff. You might be a skinny guy with a 20 STR but very effective at leveraging and stuff. The gods capping to 20 is interesting... you could almost make a campaign based on that.
