[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 4163771, member: 18701"] I'm sure there are serious roleplayers that probably do that exact thing. I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't implement additional rules based on gender (I'm a rules light kinda guy). But I can see why someone would want to implement it and I wouldn't complain if I played in his/her game. I know people are saying that the score adjustments for races are to help give them reasons for playing that race. But that's not how I feel about it. I don't care what the ability score adjustments are. I don't usually optimize my character by choosing a race based on my ability score in order to give me a better bonus. I think of the type of character I want to be, figure out what race I'd like him to be, what class I'd like to play, and then work my ability scores into that concept and try to get the best stats I can based on my criteria. I thought that was how the majority of roleplayers did it back in the day, but it seems like most people actually pick their race based on what will give them better ability score bonuses for their class. :\ I'd find it about as offensive as saying Half-Orcs get a penalty to intelligence for being dumber than other races.
