1659, help file for humans/half elves
Posted by randombutterfly on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
This is a suggestion to admins about something that confused the heck out of me for a little bit, but if there are good reasons for having it this way that's fine by me (esp now that I think I understand it!).

From the perspective of someone who's played *alot* of role playing games but has no intuition about this game's mechanics, it may be worthwhile to rewrite the help file for humans/halfelves so that it's clear that the increase in the primary stat is in *capacity* (racial maximum) and not *effect*.

As written:

Humans gain additional power (+3) in the prime stat of their chosen class.


Idea:
Humans increase their racial maximum by +3 in the prime stat of their
chosen class.
1660, Good point, IMO...

Changed the helpfiles. I went with something like this though:

"Humans increase their maximum possible value by +3 in the prime stat of their chosen class."
