If we're using the 6-trait system, can we use a system to limit assignment (It costs different amounts to raise scores to different levels)? We could do something akin to D&D 4e on that, which is at least better than allowing free assignment of the points. We could also use the classic D&D system of rolling for the stats, but I'm against that since it leaves too big of a difference between character, plus it's easy to cheat.
I also have a few characters in mind though. I'm ready too.
