That leaves even less room for feat customization.So why not have fixed stat array for 1st level(for all races equal) and there is no increases per level to abilities. Only maybe from "wish", some magic items(rather not), or some epic boons.No racial ability modifiers, all ASI's are spent on feats. If you like a half feat, take two of them without ability boost as a single ASI.Standard ability array for all characters could then be:18,16,14,14,12,10 for more or less standard game and,20,18,16,14,12,10 for high powered campaign, or16,14,12,12,10,8 for low powered campaign.or tweak the numbers how ever you like.Would this make PC's more powerfull? Yes, but it would also made them more diverse as you only really need one feat, maybe two to make your character idea work so there is lots of room for flavor feats.</blockquote>
