Warm regards, Rick.

This implies "maximum attributes" are a thing. While I know that some creatures have maximums specified, they were always given as more of a guideline than an actual rule. If there were maximum attributes, Humans would have to have them too -- and ipso facto, that would both solve the Attribute Bloat problem at one go, AND remove any incentive to play the campaign after a year or two... ;-)

But I actually agree -- if XP can be spent on something besides attributes, then having species-specific maximum attribute limits would be a GREAT idea (I wonder how Dragons would work? And at which attribute sub-totals they would bump up a hex or more in size...?), and allowing a WISH to increase an attribute maximum by 1 would be an even better idea!
