Listening to the player and agreeing aren't the same thing.

For an edge that increases a stat cap? Yes, I think that's okay. But whether or not I think it is okay doesn't speak to helping you figure out what you need to do.

So let's be productive!
If all you've got are some of the tiers of the explore/observe columns, and hitting 51, then you can probably stack on that pretty easily. Read 'help edge specifics' and look at things like commerce, role, etc.

Having rolled a Shig-Ru and not getting the +con stat edge I wanted, I know how it sucks for it to feel out of reach, but increasing a stat cap is pretty dandy!
