somethign i was wondering about and was curious how others felt.

Shouldn't the characters stats be evolving to some degree as the character and its personality does as well? let me give an example

A 6 yr old child is created. Like many children he (for this refrence the person will be a male) is very quick and agile, but due to being very young is not very strong or smart yet. now as the child grows and matures wouldn't it to some extent make sense that say.. if the child particpates in learnign crafts, an insrument, and even spendign tiem inthe library reading, his intelligence woudl go up while his agility goes down, or perhaps he apprentices himself to a smith, a miner, or logger, and starts working hard physically, thus his strength should go up, and maybe even his constitution as his endurance increases from the activity at a cost of what the child is no longer doing as much of, most notably agility.

I would naturally expect and stat adjustment to be very heavily justified and not somethign that woudl be changed willy-nilly, i just wondered what others thought about this.

I think it would be very hard to program and if done manually would be a lot of work. *shrugs

It was stated that:

Attributes in a game can either be static or dynamic, and everythign is built around them.

In Illarion, attributes are static, so they won't be changing that drastically anytime soon.

I like the idea. But then everyone would be walking around with maxed carpenters/warriors/lumberjacks. It would only influence more PG instead of RP and quite frankly, I think there are already too many "#me starts to work" in town as it is.

I don't know exactly about the effort, but anyway, I think there was once stated that dynamic attrib changes just won't occur. Like the llama said.

you can rp your characters stats changing anyway.
