09-23-07, 01:05 AM There was a post on one of the forums here (maybe ENWorld?) that had a discussion about an ability score increase variant that used the point-buy rules to allow players to raise lower scores more quickly than higher scores. Despite my efforts in Google and this forum's search function, I can't seem to find the thread. Can anyone link me? Thanks!

Thus, if they want to wait a few levels they can totally put their ability score bonus into their main stat... or they could get a lot more small bonuses to other stats much faster.
