[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5849785, member: 54877"] One of the big pushes for ability score advancement is a legacy of rolled stats. Having an otherwise good character stuck with, say, a 9 Con or 11 Dex just one under getting rid of a penalty or getting a mild bonus (depending upon exact version, numbers may vary)--well, it can be annoying. Ever had a Basic character that managed to get nothing but 8, 12, and 15 in stats? It's better than a lot of the alternatives, but it chafes waiting on those host of wishes that you know realistically will never arrive. :p The more say people have on their starting ability scores, the less need there is to change them over time. However, the more say people have gotten over the starting point, the more options they have had to increae the scores over time. That is a bit perverse. :D [/QUOTE]
