07-08-07, 09:02 PM The idea of your scores for all you major abilities
Pretty much base your characters around one tue ideal.

But what is that person decides to go a different route.

"Hey DM i want to put into affect that my character decides to work lesso n his speed and more on his strength."

"Why would your character want to do that"

"Honestly he is jealous of the strenth others show while he is just a skrawny pile of bones"

So is there anything people woul have in mind.
I just assume say he takes like 6 months too a year that he trains in strength and switches his DEX for STR?

Any ideas?

Suggestion 2: Use the existing rules for raising ability scores.
