Sounds perfectly applicable to me. And it prima facie demolishes the idea that this is something to avoid. That’s a different discussionFireball is not brokenly OPI’m not a fan of scaling ASIs by level so I’d agree based on that, but as long as they do allow scaling them up as you level they make for great ways to differentiate at least some characters.  My barbarian/rogue that invested in con instead of str comes to mind.  I think the purpose of ASIs/feats is to differentiate characters. Nor do I find the effectiveness of +2 main stat compared to at least a half dozen feats for each character (and probably more) is large enough to worry about effectiveness differences.</blockquote>
