Remaster - Attribute bonuses and flaws


Rules Discussion


Quick question; I'm still feeling out the Remaster to see what's changed and what hasn't. Reading over character generation, the Attribute Bonuses is simple in and of itself, but I find myself wondering this:

If I'm building an Elf, for example, I get a bonus to Dexterity, Intelligence, and a Free option. I also take a -1 to Constitution. Previously, one could spend that Free attribute boost on the Flaw to cancel it out (in this case, keeping Constitution at a +0).

Is this still valid in Remaster? Odds are I've simply overlooked where it states this in the book, but some clarification would be most appreciated.

I think the need for that rule has been superseded by the fact any ancestry can choose to get 2 free boosts with no flaw now. So if you want an elf with no con flaw, you can just have any two boosts you want.

Very good point! And I -did- read that, simply didn't think of it. Good catch, thank you!
