Denied Increase starting stat points for new characters

[CJ]

Short Description: - It's only just come to my attention that the starting stats serve no real purpose other than to gain a unnoticeable increase in a characters stats. With that being said I want to suggest that we increase the starting threshold of stat points from 10 to 30, this will not only provide a noticeable boost; it also would make the overall stats/rolling system more engaging and fun for all.
Required Workshop Content: - none

(Also allow existing chars to re-spec the new amount of stat points to make it fair)

Piggybacking here - I would recommend adding more points (perhaps 35?) And also a new category - intelligence. I don't know what gameplay impact this may have, but I would love to do intelligence rolls to determine how my characters may react to something - whether they are competent or not. I feel like that would be fun.

You don't need stats to roleplay.

Then remove stats?

Increasing the amount of starting stat points for all characters would not impact balancing (for rolling); everyone would be on the same overall starting field in terms of stats.
If this is to be implemented, however, stamina/run speed/jump height scaling should be adjusted accordingly to avoid players investing all 30 points into one stat, gaining a significant advantage in terms of gameplay mechanics.
Overall, a higher amount of starting stat points allows players more flexibility in creating their characters, allowing for more "specialized" characters like in D&D ("20 str 5 wis/int/cha/dex/con") so I don't see any downsides to this aside from the logistical issue of properly adjusting a few lines of code.

They're in the base framework. It would be waste of time to try and scrap it off since they have not much of use other than directly affecting the rolls.

Denied. The default attribute points that come with Clockwork are 30; they were deliberately lowered to pull away from the focus on stats and attributes and push it more toward roleplay.
