What was the rule of putting abilities boosts in the spot where you'd taken a minus? I can't remember where it was posted.
So, could a dwarf put one of his ancestry boosts into Charisma, even tho he is taking a minus at the same time?
And you can only put one boost at a time into your lowered stat, right? So you can't put two boosts at once or anything.
- You can put a free bonus anywhere you like, even if it's to cancel out an ability flaw.
- If you choose to take two voluntary flaws, you can put those wherever you like, but you can't put them in the same place unless that stat is getting a bonus from your ancestry.
- You can't put two free bonuses into the same stat, unless one is gained from voluntary flaws and that stat is already receiving a flaw from your ancestry.
So if we do ancestry first, if I wanted to make a charismatic dwarf I could put my free bonus into Charisma so get Str 10/Dex 10/Con 12/Wis 12/Int 10/Cha 10. If I wanted my charismatic dwarf to be sickly I could put two voluntary flaws into constitution to get 10/10/8/12/10/12.
Okay. I knew there had been a thing about it, but I couldn't remember all the particulars. Thanks, Cabbage.

Simple way to remember it, if you are doing ancestry first you can’t have anything over a 12 or anything below an 8.

Likewise you can put anything at a 12, or anything at an 8, and indeed swap a 12 and 8 from your ancestry.
