[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8401970, member: 59057"] As I said in a different thread: ability modifiers are stupid in a point buy system. It is just a tax you pay. You try to get good in your main stats anyway. If you roll, +2 bonus to something can also meaningfully increase a very bad roll to okish. There are way better methods to enforce strength: goliaths for example can lift twice as muchand gain atheltics for free. They are also tough because of their racial ability. So +2 strength and +1 con is not needed at all. It just makes you a better great sword fighter. If you think, being big makes you better at fighting with great swords, then +2 strength is warranted. I don't think, that is necessarily true. A different possibility would also be just get rid of stat modifiers to weapon skills. Stats are mainly helping in secondary class skills or proficiencies. Then I could see keeping stats, as it would not be as penalizing to not have big prime stats. (That does not mean, you can't play with lower prime stats already). [/QUOTE]
