What if it were possible to buy permanent stat boosts with Reward Points? Something like: 10 RPs to add a permanent int point.

Or maybe trade stats? It could be a shop in the south. You can subtract say one cha point and add a con point.

Interesting!

Gary likes it, so, I do too.

There's work, though. We'll want to cap total base Attributes at some reasonable level, say 50 points, where the unenhanced default is 30. And we'll want to prevent enhanced super-Players getting into and seriously messing with areas which are carefully calibrated for group adventures, for example the Tree of Wealth. None of this is difficult work, but there's a lot of it to make this happen.

On it.

How many RPs should it cost to permanently increase an Attribute by 1 point?

IMO it should be 250. It's a *permanent* attribute increase!

I know it is permanent but the rp’s are not cheap either and it takes a long time to get 100 by playing

Personally I dislike this idea. It sounds to me like ppl are trying to create supercharacters, either by making roles super powerful or by buying stats.

Since it's already been added, I vote for leaving it at 100. If it's going to exist, that seems to hit a balance between rightly expensive or impossible.

The more I think about this, the more I dislike it. Just saying.

I don't like it either.

But I think there are many different playing styles, and ppl should be allowed to play whichever one suits them best. If they feel they need to maximize their stats, I wouldn't stop them.
