Nope, not from me :) However, I think we should seriously consider the
suggestion about dividing ability scores from a fixed sum at generation
time according to player wishes at the same time since this will actually 
make it a lot harder to change the scores, and also consider the linearity
of bonuses.

Well, it will definitely make it rather hard, since those potions arent
exactly common :). That is probably a good thing tho.
