[QUOTE="LuYangShih, post: 845588, member: 10414"] In my opinion, you shouldn't mess with the skill points given to the characters. Dictating what a characters skillpoints will be, however minimally, is likely to anger players, and for good reason. Even if it does make sense, (and that could be argued) it's really annoying when the DM begins to take away the control of the one thing in the world that is yours and yours alone, your character. You could argue that anyone growing up in a rural village should have ranks in Profession: Farmer, or Profession: Sheep Herder, or so on, but that's the players choice to make, not yours. Having the female drow be favored is fine, since that's the society they live in, but if you start to take away character control, I guarantee they will resent it. PCs are supposed to be special, unique heroes (or in this case, villians) who are above and beyond the average cut of the world. They're not rothe herders, unless the player controlling them wants them to be. [/QUOTE]
