Neither could anyone else. All the answers seem to boil down to: it has always been done this way, don't rock the boat. People who do not want to try it claim it requires more work, without trying it to see for themselves. Why should I listen to anyone who is unwilling to try it and see for themselves. Every answer is nothing more than: this is what I think. Reworking Con in mid battle is terrible to do. Intelligence, on the other hand, does not usually change during battle and skills can usually wait until battle is over to adjust them, not so hit points, or attack bonuses, or AC; which all immediately get (or lose) all their bonuses during combat where it is important. Only Intelligence requires you to wait until you gain a level to get the full bonuses allowed; even if you already leveled just before gaining Intelligence. In a game where skills are important and there are never enough skill points to go around; why deny players a few extra skill points? Balance? NO, not even that can be called upon as a savior. It is only because someone thinks it would be difficult to do. I have done it my way and I tell you it does not increase bookkeeping; even less so than Constitution or Strength or Dexterity.</p></blockquote><p></p>
