Has anyone ever considered adjusting the racial modified limit (and attribute) according to gender? Females are, after all, physically weaker than men both in averages and in maximums. I was considering making all females -1 Str and +1 Cha. Except for dragons. For dragons I would have the males be -1 Str and +1 Cha. (They are more closely related to birds where the males are beautiful and the females are bigger.) :D

The only problem I see with this is that Cha is linked to leadership, and men seem to have just as much if not more leadership than women. Perhaps this is due to social constraints (Da Man been puttin em down) dating back to when physical strength was paramount (to fight off those saber-toothed tigers). Maybe Wil would be more apt. I've known a lot of very, very stubborn women. Then I've known some stubborn men too. :dead:

Back to Cha: I think that encouraging female conjurers and faces would be just fine and dandy. History has witches being more commonly female, and Daisy Mae was always tapped for her "social skills" when those Duke boys were getting into mischief. :love:
