Stat growth too fast?

General Feedback
#1

As somebody who likes to rp their stats, I feel like the stats raise a bit to quickly. Given how much leveling is going on with the skills, I think it might be more realistic to have stats raise one point every ten levels for an associated skill. Otherwise it wont be long before everyone is running around with all their stats in the 30s, as powerful as gods.

When you have a character concept, and you try to match your stats to represent that concept, it kind of gets ruined when your stats shoot through the roof. I mean, how can you roleplay a clumsey oaf when your dex is 35, or a shy padowan when you have a 40 charisma, or a sickly waif when you have 30 con?

I mean, if we’re going to put enough importance on stats to match them with suitable skills, thereby making them an important part of crafting our characters, don’t we want to make sure we keep those stats at a believable level so we can realistically play those stats which are supposed to represent different facets to our characters’ being?

TL;DR - If we want to roleplay our stats, then too high of a progression can hurt our character concepts. A better progression might be to gaint 1 stat point per 10 associated skill levels.

I don’t translate the stats like in a DnD universe, there’s just too much of a difference. Seeing how there’s only so many options available to actually push your stats, I feel the progress to be relatively balanced.

If someone wants to roleplay a sickly waif, then why the heck would he deliberately train something that boosts con? Preparing that character concept should actually include to check which skills boost con and make a decision to not exercise those crafts.

Except that a waif would naturally be good at scavenging, and scavenging boosts con

I would probably say not to worry about it. The system is designed to enhance your stats by just playing your character, so if you have a little more con than you intended I would say just roleplay it as something other than strictly hardiness.

You don’t want to be like Naia, running around with 19 HP anyway.
