Why should gargoyles, reptile men and giants pay the same for each added ST point as they do for DX and IQ?

How about increase ST at half price and the other two at double cost?

Start Reptile men with ST 14, DX 8, IQ 8 and 8 added points. Each added ST point costs half a point (initially and from experience), the other two attributes cost double (initially and from experience).

So you could start with ST 14, DX 10 and IQ 10 or ST 18, DX 10 and IQ 8. And so on.

Added: Purchasing talents with exp also costs twice as much, but they get the standard talent&spells for their starting IQ at creation. Only two-thirds of a Reptile Man or Gargoyle's ST counts towards the extra exp. cost of raising attributes. Gargoyles are treated the same as Reptile Men for experience.

Giants pay triple for DX, IQ and added talents, but their ST is at one third cost and only a third of their ST counts towards the added exp. points required to raise an attribute.
