Hi Steve, everyone.
Just a quick thought,

Anyone like the idea of extending this series of attributes which you can buy by 2 steps, but we make those steps VERY expensive. For example:

...
40th - .............................. 4,000 XP. // Note, changed from above.
41st - .............................. 8,000 XP.
42nd - ........................... 12,000 XP.
43rd and later - ............... Magic is needed.

This way if someone REALLY wanted a bit higher attributes, they could try, but they would be giving up many talents and it would take a long, long time.

It used to be possible to buy 15 attributes with attribute adders, but now they max out at 5 levels. (And presumably are more expensive.) So in that respect, we have a 'bit more room'.

I do not feel strongly one way or another, but am raising this for people's comments / consideration.

Warm regards, Rick.
