Hi JLV, everyone.
I was NOT suggesting that humans and other PC's races have low maximum attributes to combat attribute bloat! Altho looking at the largest mass weight lifters can lift, you could argue the maximum ST for humans is around ST 30.

I actually use maximum attributes in my campaign. Goblins have a max ST of 20, for example. It is just one way to distinguish one race from another. But for PC races I set the max attributes quite high, or at least 2/3 of the attributes quite high. So there is always an attribute to put exp into.

Warm regards, Rick.
