Likely that non stat stuff is minimal compared to stat multiples.  Like
you say later, the game ultimately revolves around stats.

Now a decrease of two str point multiples would get me to shut up for
quite some time!!! :)

Yet another AG injustice! :)  I have heard that a full blooded troll
lurks around somewhere!  Now that might really be scary!! :)

Sigh... I know humans are likely the best race.  Just because Hugh is a
human he had to make them best! :)

Yes I know.  The day I see a mino take the top singles tourney
spot...well, lets just leave it at that! :)

Don't expect to gat everything, but it still is fun! :)  Sometimes you
need to ask for way too much to get the small change you really want...

YES!!!!  I have tried to mention this to Hugh and he said he will give it
some thought.  So I guess it will happen about a year from now! :)  Just
kidding Hugh! :)

Hint! Hint! Hint!
