Message: <blockquote data-quote="infax" data-source="post: 3953968" data-attributes="member: 12784">@Green Knight:My bad. I didn't pay enough attention to that paragraph, it seems. And then, it makes me wonder. No penalties for player races - ever!?!? Seems like a really serious design constraint. Even if it was no penalties for races in PH1 I would think it was a bit too much, but ever? Seriously?As for the bonus at every even number, it has never been stated clearly that it will continue to be so and with the clear statement that abilities always give a positive modifier, I just assumed that we wouldn't have +9 modifiers for attributes at 18 from the start. Seemed liked something of a creeping in the direction of very high numbers (not necessarily a power creep if the math is the same across the system). You think it will be so?I never bought into that philosophy. I can see where it comes from but a wizard who rolls a 16 instead of an 18 in Int isn't an useless wizard as I see it. He even isn't "worse than everybody else" as far as wizards go. But that may be just me. I played a wizard halfling with 12 on every stats and had a blast with that character (and I managed to be one of the most active and efficient characters at the game table).</blockquote>
