Then give every character +2/-2 or something similar to put where they want to fit that.Whether it's point costs or rolls, it doesn't cost you anything to have 14 Str as a Halfling compared to a Human, which is a good thing if you ever want middling-strong Halflings to exist as PCs.NPCs can just use the racial average (or custom dice if you want variety), so PC Drow are basically average members of the race, but PC Kobolds are amazing for their kind (and PC Ogre-Magi are a little weaker than average NPCs).Save the stat mods for the classes, levels, and years. Positive being positive.</blockquote>
