500k gold would only make raising one stat hard as hell for newbies who lose that con much faster. I think the price should be based on how many times you have trained it, that way when you are new at pinn, and getting rolled you have a buffer to fall back on.

well mostly newbies are losing con faster (see elwarick, no offense) so I mean put it on a curve, you train it once, cheaper, go back again, bit more. So on and so forth.

So if we make it just 500k to get another conpoint, newbies usually have a hard time gathering that much cash ever, while most of us vets can get 5-700k per shift, and a shaman can literally farm gold.

Fraught with danger - I know easy to get eq to put my stats up. If all I ahe to do is perserve until around rank 40ish (where I have easy access to some gold farming methods) then I would. Then 'gold up' all my stats and hold the trains.

I don't think this would be a good thing.... That way to train it is just ANOTHER benefit of something. There is a heavy price to pay for that too.

This is a very viable character selection.

For example, i normally have 6 Stat points to max after character creation.

If i do not use train untill pinacle and chose to keep the stat penalty, i can latter invest 6 trains in +60HP. This represents around 10% of the Base HP of a Mage/Cleric.

You can for example go with minus 4 DEX than your max racial DEX, and use a +4 DEX belt. This would analog to using a belt of +40 HP.

Another example. CLerics can easely make STR their dump stat with no problem due to the existing Giant Strenght Spell that will cover most of their penalty. +6 STR At Pinnacle, i think.

Of course this opens a weakness to the Spell WEAKNESS, and to sudently droping your weapon in middle of combat, because your Giant Strenght just Droped.

Or because your savant shaman/cleric is fighting a blademaster who likes using crit arm/crit kidney :(

People already save trains that plan to try for a cabal. This wouldn't change anything it would merely give a little more incentive not to join a cabal.

There are all to many power gamers around here... No wonder rage delete still happens - people are so focused on getting 'perfect rolls' and such that you can't enjoy the game...

Giving non cabaled players a few perks wouldn't increase the power gaming. I would argue that it would do the exact opposite. You might see a few more Otoths running around if they could do something as simple as meta their CON back up as it decreases. As it is now there is no advantage for being uncabaled except for staying out of cabal warfare. Any cabal member that is T or above will have tremendous advantage over you. I would like to see something to balance this out. This is just one idea.
