[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7543021, member: 6919838"] You are jumping past the journey tho abd definitely past the crossroads **you** put into play. **if they have a good story for it** only has any meaning at all if it wont always be rhe case. If you are basically ssying "we will always wind up with a good story" by working together or whatever then you are as JG pointing out saying "just pick your scores" since there will be story and it will be good. You get to the point of it being *and* not *if* as well as good story being there even if they keep the core stats. If you are not gonna ever say "no" to an ability score swap then its not *if* and maybe only barely "when." If you are going to say "no" to an ability score swap then its got the issues being raised. But, pretending to make something dependent on a requirement that you are just gonna give anyway is semantics. Or can i just not give good story for my character as long as i k e p the race scores as is? For me, the chargen is the chargen - regardless of whether you are the type who,prefers to start backgrounded story driven (in the middle of your story) or frontgrounded "my story gets good now" (start in the beginning and play to create new story) or all the other points between.
